3M 7000118681 Abrasive Belt 158x6 Inch P120 Grit Ceramic

Product Description

The 3M 7000118681 is a coated abrasive belt engineered for demanding stock removal and metal finishing applications. It combines 3M Ceramic Abrasive Grain with aluminum oxide in a blend that cuts faster and lasts longer than straight aluminum oxide belts. The belt measures 158 inches in length and 6 inches in width, making it suited for wide-contact grinding operations. A durable resin bond resists heat deterioration, extending service life. A grinding aid built into the construction reduces heat buildup during operation, which is particularly valuable when working stainless steel and other heat-sensitive metals. Licensed trades and fabrication shops running production belt grinders are the primary installers and users of this product.

This abrasive belt is designed for use in industrial and fabrication environments where high material removal rates and consistent finish quality are required. It performs well on ferrous metals, stainless steel, and non-ferrous alloys. The heavyweight polyester cloth backing allows operation under high contact pressure, and the belt can be run dry or with a compatible lubricant depending on the application and material. Its extended wear life reduces the frequency of belt changes, which improves throughput in production settings.

Key Features

• Ceramic and aluminum oxide grain blend for faster cut rate and longer belt life compared to aluminum oxide alone
• Built-in grinding aid reduces heat generation, supporting work on stainless steel and heat-sensitive metals
• Heavyweight polyester cloth backing handles high-pressure contact and wet or dry operation
• Durable resin bond resists thermal breakdown to extend usable belt life
• Reduces belt change frequency, improving productivity in production grinding applications

Compatibility

Designed for use on belt grinding and finishing machines that accept 158-inch by 6-inch coated abrasive belts in P120 grit.

Installation Notes

Belt installation and tensioning should be performed by qualified personnel familiar with the specific grinder or belt finishing machine in use. Power down and de-energize the machine fully before changing belts. Inspect the belt for tears or edge damage before mounting and confirm proper tracking before resuming operation. Follow the machine manufacturer guidelines and applicable workplace safety standards when operating abrasive belt equipment.
