3M 7100218687 Ceramic Abrasive Belt 106x2 Inch Wet Grinding

Product Description

The 3M 7100218687 is a Trizact 953FA abrasive belt engineered for precision grinding and finishing in demanding industrial applications. Built on an XF-weight cloth backing, the belt delivers durability combined with flexibility for consistent contact across the workpiece. The abrasive layer uses a 3M proprietary ceramic grain structure that enables fast, aggressive material removal while maintaining predictable surface finish results. At 106 inches long and 2 inches wide, this belt is sized for wet centerless and flat grinding machine configurations. It is typically installed and maintained by machining and grinding equipment operators in production and job-shop environments.

This belt is designed for wet centerless grinding and flat grinding applications where dimensional accuracy and repeatable finish quality are required. It performs on ferrous metals, stainless steel, and nonferrous workpieces, making it appropriate for mixed-material production lines. The ceramic grain construction supports higher throughput compared to conventional abrasive belts, reducing changeover frequency. It serves as a practical alternative to bonded abrasive wheels in facilities where machine investment or shift changes are not viable.

Key Features

• 3M proprietary ceramic grain delivers fast, aggressive cutting action with consistent results
• XF-weight cloth backing provides durability and flexibility for close workpiece contact
• Supports accurate part geometry and finish tolerances in wet grinding environments
• Higher throughput potential means fewer belt changes and reduced downtime
• Suitable alternative to bonded abrasive wheels without requiring new machinery
• Effective on ferrous, stainless steel, and nonferrous workpieces

Compatibility

Designed for use in wet centerless grinding and flat grinding machines that accept belts measuring 106 inches in length and 2 inches in width. Suitable for operations processing ferrous, stainless steel, and nonferrous workpieces.

Installation Notes

Belt installation and tensioning should be performed by qualified grinding machine operators following the machine manufacturer's guidelines. Disengage and lock out all power to the grinding machine before mounting or removing the belt. Inspect the belt for damage before installation and confirm proper tracking before resuming wet grinding operations. Follow applicable shop safety protocols for abrasive wheel and belt equipment as referenced in ANSI B11 and applicable facility standards.
