The 3M 1/4" x 18" 60 Grit Coated Ceramic Aluminum Oxide Abrasive Belt is engineered with a ceramic aluminum oxide grain blend that offers a superior cut-rate compared to standard aluminum oxide abrasives. The combination of ceramic and aluminum oxide reducing the frequency of belt changes, and allowing for the production of more components per belt. Constructed with a heavyweight polyester backing, the belt is designed to withstand high-pressure, demanding applications, suitable for both wet and dry conditions. Additionally, it incorporates a grinding aid, effectively reducing heat accumulation and boosting performance, especially on stainless steel and other challenging metals. The durable resin bond resists heat-related deterioration.
