3M 7000148169 | 984F x 36+ Grit x 20.500" OAL Precision Shaped Ceramic Cloth Belt

Description

The 3M 7000148169 Cubitron 984F II ceramic belt is made for rapid material removal on aluminum and stainless steel substrates. At 0.75" width and 20.5" overall length, this narrow-profile belt fits file belt sanders and manual backstands for precise control. Built with precision-shaped ceramic grains in a 36+ grit grade, the belt delivers aggressive cutting and long wear in heavy-stock removal tasks. YF-weight polyester cloth backing gives dimensional stability and tear resistance under high pressures and repeated cycles. Closed-coat construction concentrates abrasive coverage for consistent performance similar to a 36 grit grinding disc in tough operations. The Fabri-Lok splice creates a strong, low-profile joint that improves runability and reduces the risk of snags during continuous use. Single-flex construction allows the belt to conform to small radii and tool angles while maintaining uniform finishes and edge control. Maroon color coding and 984F form factor make the 3M 7000148169 easy to identify and match to shop workflows using 3M cubitron 36 grit belts. Use this 3M cubitron 984F II ceramic belt for deburring, finishing, polishing, surface prep and heavy-duty grinding on metal parts. The result is higher throughput, fewer belt changes and a professional finish where a 36 grit sanding disc would traditionally be used.

Product Features and Benefits

Precision-Shaped Ceramic Grain

3M 7000148169 uses fracturing ceramic grains that stay sharp for aggressive stock removal, outperforming conventional 36 grit sanding disc options.

Compact 0.75" Width for Detail Work

The 0.75" belt profile fits tight tooling envelopes and file belt sanders, enabling delicate deburring and contour finishing with 3M cubitron 36 grit power.

YF-Weight Polyester Cloth Backing

Durable YF backing provides dimensional stability and tear resistance under pressure, extending the useful life of the 3M 984F belt.

Fabri-Lok Splice for Smooth Operation

The Fabri-Lok splice delivers a robust, low-profile joint that reduces downtime and improves tracking during continuous or automated runs.

Closed-Coat Layout for Consistent Cut

Closed-coat abrasive coverage maximizes cutting area and produces uniform finishes, ideal where a 36 grit grinding disc is required for heavy removal.
