3M 7100188960 Abrasive Belt 132x4 Inch P60 Silicon Carbide

Product Description

The 3M 7100188960 is a silicon carbide abrasive cloth belt engineered for grinding, blending, deburring, and finishing on metal surfaces. Measuring 132 inches in length and 4 inches in width, this P60-grit belt is built for use on backstands in demanding shop environments. The silicon carbide mineral fractures consistently during use, maintaining a sharp cutting edge throughout the belt's service life and delivering a uniform surface finish from start to finish. A heat-resistant resin bond locks the abrasive to the backing for durability under pressure, heat, and wet conditions. Licensed tradespeople and metalworking professionals are the primary installers and users of this belt.

This abrasive belt is suited for both wet and dry applications across a range of metal types. The tough, water-resistant polyester cloth backing resists tearing and nicking during heavy-duty grinding as well as fine finishing passes. It is designed for backstand applications in fabrication shops, welding operations, and metal finishing environments where consistent stock removal and surface quality are required across extended production runs.
