3M 7010511340 | 984F x 60+ Grit x 12.000" OAL Precision Shaped Ceramic Cloth Belt

Description

The 3M 7010511340 Cubitron 984F II ceramic belt is a compact, high-efficiency abrasive that is ideal for precision metalworking and quick-change applications. This single-flex belt, measuring 0.25" × 12.0" OAL, is suitable for narrow spindles and specialty tooling that require consistent cutting despite limited access. The precision-shaped ceramic grain removes material aggressively while remaining sharper for longer than standard abrasives, making it ideal for replacing a 60 grit sanding disc. The belt is made of YF-weight polyester cloth, which resists tearing and maintains tracking under pressure, allowing for consistent finishing, polishing, and deburring. Closed-coat construction provides more abrasive coverage, resulting in uniform cut rates and predictable wear in production and repair workflows. The Fabri-Lok splice creates a strong, low-profile seam that reduces vibration and seam failures in both continuous and intermittent use. The 3M 7010511340, which has a grit rating of 60 or higher, strikes a balance between quick stock removal and precise surface preparation and shaping. In tight or precision applications, its compact form factor makes it an excellent substitute for a 60 grit grinding wheel or 60-grit flap wheel. This 3M cubitron 984F ceramic belt is made to reduce glazing and heat buildup while preserving part integrity during extended use.
Choose the 3M 7010511340 for consistent, repeatable performance when a small-format, high-cut 60+ abrasive is required.

Product Features and Benefits

Precision-Shaped Ceramic Grain

Self-sharpening ceramic particles give the 3M 7010511340 rapid cut and longer life than conventional 60 grit sanding disc alternatives.

Compact 0.25" × 12.0" Format

Small single-flex sizing enables access to tight areas and specialty tools where a full-size 60 grit grinding wheel cannot be used.

YF-Weight Polyester Cloth Backing

Durable backing resists tearing and maintains stable tracking for consistent finishes across polishing and deburring tasks.

Closed-Coat for High Abrasive Coverage

Dense grain layout ensures uniform wear and predictable cutting performance, reducing the need for frequent belt swaps versus flap wheel 60 grit options.

Fabri-Lok Splice for Seam Reliability

Strong, low-profile splice minimizes seam failures and vibration in continuous runs, improving uptime for precision sanding operations.

Frequently Asked Questions

What is the 3M 7010511340 best used for?

It’s ideal for finishing, surface preparation, polishing and precise stock removal in confined spaces where a 60 grit sanding disc is normally used.

Can this belt replace a 60 grit grinding wheel?

Yes, in narrow or precision applications the 3M 7010511340 delivers equivalent aggressive cutting with greater control and durability.

Is this 3M cubitron 984F ii ceramic belt suitable for delicate metalwork?

Yes, controlled passes and limited heat buildup make it suitable for careful shaping and finishing on stainless and mild steel.

How does the Fabri-Lok splice affect performance?

The Fabri-Lok splice creates a low-profile, strong joint that reduces seam failures and improves belt tracking during repetitive cycles.

What is 60 grit sandpaper used for, and how does this belt relate?

The 60-grit sandpaper is used for medium-coarse material removal and shaping; this 60+ ceramic belt performs the same function with extended life and consistency.
