3M 7000144118 Abrasive Belt 120 Grit 18x0.5 Inch Green

Product Description

The 3M 7000144118 is an alumina zirconia coated abrasive belt designed for high-pressure grinding, blending, and edge work on metal substrates. At 120 grit, it delivers aggressive cutting action with reduced heat buildup, making it well-suited for work on heat-sensitive metals such as aluminum and stainless steel. The belt measures 18 inches in length and 1/2 inch in width and features a heavyweight, water-resistant polyester cloth backing that resists tearing and deformation under sustained load. A grinding aid is incorporated into the mineral blend to extend cut life and keep surface temperatures in check during production runs.

This belt is used in industrial and trade finishing applications where aluminum oxide belts fall short in cut rate or durability. Typical scenarios include weld blending, deburring, and edge chamfering on ferrous and non-ferrous metals. The water-resistant backing makes it suitable for wet or dry operation. It is commonly run on portable belt sanders and stationary contact-wheel grinders in fabrication shops, HVAC duct work finishing, and general metalworking environments.

Key Features

• Alumina zirconia mineral with grinding aid delivers higher cutting efficiency than standard aluminum oxide
• Heavyweight polyester cloth backing withstands high-pressure and edge-work applications
• Runs cool, reducing heat damage risk on aluminum, stainless steel, and other heat-sensitive metals
• Water-resistant backing supports both wet and dry use
• 120 grit provides a balance of stock removal and surface finish in finishing and blending operations

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style replacement coated abrasive belt for use on portable and stationary belt grinding equipment accepting 18 inch by 1/2 inch belts.

Installation Notes

Installation should be performed by a qualified operator following the grinder or sander manufacturer's guidelines. Confirm the machine is powered off and unplugged before mounting the belt. Verify belt tracking and tension before resuming operation, and inspect the belt for damage or delamination prior to each use. Appropriate PPE including eye protection and gloves is required during installation and operation.
