3M 7100080156 Abrasive Belt 132x4 Inch 80 Grit Ceramic Ao

Product Description

The 3M 7100080156 is a coated abrasive belt engineered for demanding stock removal and metal finishing applications. It combines 3M ceramic abrasive grain with aluminum oxide in a blend that cuts faster and lasts longer than conventional aluminum oxide belts. The heavyweight polyester cloth backing handles high-pressure grinding without breakdown, and the belt runs equally well dry or with lubricant. A built-in grinding aid reduces heat buildup during use, making this belt a practical choice for stainless steel and other heat-sensitive metals. Licensed trades and metalworking shops install and use this belt in production grinding, weld blending, and surface conditioning work.

This belt fits applications where consistent cut rate and extended belt life are priorities. It is suited for ferrous and non-ferrous metal grinding, weld seam removal, and finish work on stainless steel. The 132-inch length and 4-inch width fit wide-belt and stroke-belt machines common in fabrication and manufacturing environments. The orange color coding helps identify grit and series on the shop floor.

Key Features

• Ceramic and aluminum oxide grain blend for faster cutting and longer belt life than standard AO
• Heavyweight polyester cloth backing supports high-pressure grinding applications
• Runs wet or dry for flexibility across different workpiece materials and setups
• Grinding aid reduces heat generation, extending performance on stainless steel and heat-sensitive metals
• Durable resin bond resists heat deterioration to maximize belt service life
• 80 grit for aggressive stock removal with controlled surface finish

Compatibility

Designed for use on wide-belt and stroke-belt abrasive machines accepting a 132-inch by 4-inch coated abrasive belt in metal grinding and finishing applications.

Installation Notes

Belt installation should be performed by a qualified operator following the machine manufacturer's guidelines. Power down and lock out the grinder before changing belts. Verify belt tension and tracking before resuming operation, and confirm the machine RPM rating does not exceed the belt's rated speed. Inspect the belt for damage or delamination before each use.
