3M 7000148136 Abrasive Belt 36 Grit 72x2 Inch Ao Ceramic

Product Description

The 3M 7000148136 is a coated abrasive belt designed for aggressive stock removal and metal finishing on stationary belt grinders and power file machines. It combines 3M Ceramic Abrasive Grain with aluminum oxide in a blend that cuts faster and lasts longer than standard aluminum oxide belts. The belt measures 72 inches in length and 2 inches in width, carries a 36-grit rating for heavy material removal, and is built on a heavyweight polyester cloth backing that holds up under high-pressure contact. A durable resin bond resists heat breakdown, extending belt service life in demanding fabrication and welding shops.

This belt is suited for grinding, blending, and finishing ferrous and non-ferrous metals in industrial and fabrication environments. It performs well on stainless steel, mild steel, and aluminum. The belt can be run dry or with a liquid lubricant, making it adaptable to heat-sensitive materials. A built-in grinding aid reduces heat generation during stainless steel grinding, helping maintain workpiece integrity and surface finish consistency. Metalworkers, fabricators, and maintenance technicians are the primary installers and users of this product.
