3M 7000118801 Abrasive Belt 60 Grit 6x60 in Aluminum Oxide

Product Description

The 3M 7000118801 is a coated abrasive belt designed for aggressive material removal on metal, wood, and composite surfaces. Built on a heavy X-weight cloth backing, this belt runs on standard 6-inch wide belt grinders and finishing machines. It uses closed-coat aluminum oxide grain at 60 grit, a medium grade that cuts fast and resists loading under dry grinding conditions. The 341D series construction bonds abrasive grain to the cloth backing with a durable resin system suited for high-pressure, high-heat applications common in fabrication and surface prep work.

This belt is a practical choice for weld blending, deburring, stock removal, and surface conditioning in metal fabrication shops, maintenance facilities, and woodworking operations. At 6 inches wide and 60 inches long, it fits belt grinders and wide-belt sanders configured for that belt size. Dry operation makes it appropriate for use on ferrous and non-ferrous metals as well as hardwoods. The medium 60-grit cut level suits initial material removal before stepping to finer grits.

Key Features

• 60 grit aluminum oxide grain for fast, aggressive stock removal
• Closed-coat construction minimizes grain spacing for consistent scratch pattern and surface finish
• Heavy X-weight cloth backing withstands flex and tension on powered belt equipment
• Dry operation rated — suitable for ferrous metals, non-ferrous metals, and wood
• 341D series coated abrasive construction for durability under sustained grinding pressure

Compatibility

Designed for use on 6-inch wide by 60-inch long belt grinders, finishing machines, and wide-belt sanders configured for this belt size.

Installation Notes

Belt installation should be performed by trained personnel following the equipment manufacturer's belt-change procedure. Ensure the machine is fully powered down and locked out before replacing the belt. Verify belt tracking adjustment after installation and before resuming operation. Always confirm belt speed rating is compatible with the machine's operating RPM before use.
