3M 7000118698 Abrasive Belt 89x6 Inch P100 Ceramic

Product Description

The 3M 7000118698 is a coated abrasive belt designed for high-demand stock removal and metal finishing applications. It uses a blend of ceramic abrasive grain and aluminum oxide, a combination that cuts faster and lasts longer than conventional aluminum oxide belts alone. The heavyweight polyester cloth backing handles high-pressure grinding without breaking down, and the belt can be run dry or with a lubricant. A built-in grinding aid controls heat buildup during operation, making this belt well suited for stainless steel and other heat-sensitive metals. Licensed tradespeople and fabricators working in metal shops, manufacturing, or maintenance environments will find this belt fits a wide range of heavy-duty grinding and finishing tasks.

This belt is sized at 89 inches in length and 6 inches in width, placing it in the large-format category used on industrial-grade belt grinders and finishing machines. The P100 grit rating makes it effective for intermediate stock removal and surface preparation steps where a balance between cut rate and surface finish is needed. It performs well on ferrous and non-ferrous metals and is appropriate for both wet and dry grinding setups. Applications include weld blending, deburring, and surface conditioning on structural steel, stainless steel, and aluminum workpieces.

Key Features

• Ceramic and aluminum oxide grain blend delivers faster cut rates and longer belt life than straight aluminum oxide
• Heavyweight polyester cloth backing withstands high-pressure applications without excessive flex or breakdown
• Grinding aid integrated into the bond reduces heat generation, protecting heat-sensitive metals during aggressive stock removal
• Durable resin bond resists thermal deterioration, extending usable belt life between changes
• Runs wet or dry, compatible with lubricant-assisted grinding setups
• P100 grit suits intermediate finishing and stock removal stages

Compatibility

Designed for use on industrial belt grinders and finishing machines that accept 89-inch by 6-inch abrasive belts.

Installation Notes

Belt installation should be performed by a qualified operator following the machine manufacturer's guidelines for belt tensioning and tracking. Ensure the grinder is fully powered off and the wheel has stopped completely before changing belts. Confirm belt direction of travel matches the arrow marked on the belt backing when applicable. Eye protection, hearing protection, and appropriate gloves are required during operation per standard shop safety practices.
