3M 7000118800 Abrasive Belt 80 Grit 6x60 Aluminum Oxide

Product Description

The 3M 7000118800 is a coated abrasive belt engineered for aggressive stock removal and surface blending on metal, wood, and composite materials. Part of the 341D series, it features aluminum oxide abrasive grain bonded to a heavy X-weight cloth backing in a closed-coat configuration. The belt measures 6 inches wide by 60 inches long and carries an 80-grit medium-grade cut, making it well-suited for rapid material removal tasks where surface finish is a secondary concern. It is rated for dry operation only. Machinists, fabricators, and finishing technicians are the primary users of this belt type.

This belt is designed for use on stationary or portable belt grinders and sanders with matching 6-inch by 60-inch platens or contact wheels. It performs in metal fabrication shops, woodworking operations, and general industrial finishing environments. The heavy cloth backing handles the flex and tension demands of high-speed power equipment, and the closed-coat aluminum oxide grain maintains consistent cut rate across the belt face. This is a single-belt package sold individually.

Installation Notes

Installation should be performed by a qualified operator familiar with belt sander and grinder equipment. Always power down and disconnect the machine before mounting or removing the belt. Verify belt tracking and tension per the equipment manufacturer's guidelines before resuming operation. Do not use this belt for wet grinding or with coolant fluids, as it is rated for dry operation only.
