3M 7010361418 Abrasive Belt 88x3 in P180 Grit Ceramic Ao

Product Description

The 3M 7010361418 is a coated abrasive belt designed for demanding stock removal and metal finishing applications. It uses a blend of 3M Ceramic Abrasive Grain and aluminum oxide, a combination that cuts faster and lasts longer than conventional aluminum oxide belts. The belt runs on a heavyweight polyester backing that withstands high-pressure contact and can be used dry or with a lubricant. At P180 grit and 88 inches long by 3 inches wide, it is well suited for finishing passes on metal fabrication equipment. Grinding aid is incorporated into the bond to reduce heat buildup, making it especially effective on stainless steel and other heat-sensitive metals.

This belt is intended for metal fabrication and finishing environments, including structural steel shops, welding operations, and precision metalworking. It fits wide-contact and slack-section belt grinders running 88-inch belts in 3-inch width. Applications include weld seam blending, surface conditioning, and fine stock removal on ferrous and non-ferrous metals. The ceramic-AO grain blend extends belt life in high-production settings, reducing changeover frequency and downtime. It performs on stainless steel, mild steel, and aluminum where heat control and consistent cut rate are priorities.

Key Features

• Ceramic and aluminum oxide grain blend for faster cutting and longer belt life versus conventional AO
• Heavyweight polyester backing supports high-pressure grinding and runs wet or dry
• Built-in grinding aid reduces heat generation when working stainless steel and heat-sensitive metals
• Durable resin bond resists heat deterioration to extend service life
• P180 grit for fine stock removal and surface finishing passes
• Orange color for easy grit identification on the shop floor

Compatibility

Designed for belt grinders and finishing machines that accept 88-inch by 3-inch abrasive belts in coated abrasive applications on metal substrates.

Installation Notes

Belt installation should be performed by a qualified operator following the machine manufacturer's belt-tracking and tensioning procedures. Verify the belt grinder is fully powered down and locked out before changing belts. Confirm arrow direction on the belt back matches the machine's direction of rotation before starting. Inspect the contact wheel and platen for wear or debris before mounting a new belt.
