3M 7100185809 Abrasive Belt 96x6 Inch P120 Silicon Carbide

Product Description

The 3M 7100185809 is a silicon carbide cloth abrasive belt designed for grinding, blending, deburring, and finishing operations on metal surfaces. The sharp silicon carbide mineral fractures consistently throughout the belt life, maintaining cut rate and surface finish quality from start to finish. A heat-resistant resin bond locks the abrasive to a tough, water-resistant polyester backing, allowing use in both wet and dry applications. At 96 inches long and 6 inches wide with a P120 grit rating, this belt fits backstand grinders common in fabrication and metal finishing work. Licensed trade fabricators and metalworkers are the primary installers and users of this consumable.

This belt is suited for backstand grinder applications in metal fabrication, finishing, and maintenance environments. The P120 grit level positions it for intermediate finishing work, including surface blending and deburring after rough grinding. The polyester cloth backing resists tearing and nicking under sustained pressure, making it appropriate for both light finishing passes and heavier stock removal cycles. It performs in dry setups as well as wet grinding applications where coolant or water is introduced to control heat.
