3M 7100117418 Abrasive Belt P120 Grit 48x4 Inch Ceramic Ao

Product Description

The 3M 7100117418 is a coated abrasive belt designed for high-pressure grinding, blending, and metal finishing in demanding shop and fabrication environments. It uses a blend of ceramic abrasive grain and aluminum oxide that cuts faster and lasts longer than conventional aluminum oxide belts. The heavyweight polyester cloth backing handles aggressive stock removal without breaking down under load. A built-in grinding aid reduces heat buildup, making this belt well suited for stainless steel and other heat-sensitive metals. Grinding professionals, fabricators, and metalworkers install and run this belt on standard belt grinders and finishing machines.

This belt fits applications where stock removal rate and belt life directly affect throughput. It performs in both dry and wet or lubricated grinding setups, giving shops flexibility across different metal finishing workflows. Typical uses include weld blending, deburring, surface conditioning, and precision finishing on ferrous and non-ferrous metals. The belt measures 48 inches in length and 4 inches in width, fitting belt grinders sized for that configuration. P120 grit provides a balance of cut rate and surface finish suitable for intermediate finishing passes.

Installation Notes

Belt installation and replacement is typically performed by the machine operator or shop technician following the grinder manufacturer's belt-tracking and tensioning procedures. Power down and lock out the machine before mounting or removing the belt. Confirm belt direction arrow aligns with machine rotation before starting. Inspect the contact wheel and platen for wear before installing a new belt.
