The 3M Abrasive Belt features a 1/4" x 18" size and utilizes an 80 grit ceramic aluminum oxide medium. The ceramic aluminum oxide grain blend offers a cut-rate that is more efficient than traditional aluminum oxide abrasives. Its heavyweight polyester backing is capable of enduring high-pressure and challenging applications and is versatile enough to be used in both wet and dry conditions. Additionally, this belt includes a grinding aid that minimizes heat buildup, optimizing performance, particularly on stainless steel and other exotic metals. The belt employs a resin bond designed to endure heat exposure.
