3M 7010511343 | 984F x 60+ Grit x 168.000" OAL Precision Shaped Ceramic Cloth Belt

Description

The 3M 7010511343 Cubitron II 984F 60+ grit belt is specified for demanding metal removal tasks in production environments. This 6.0” wide by 168.0” overall length (152.4 mm x 4267.2 mm) belt is built to run on large backstands and conveyorized grinders. The Precision Shaped Ceramic grains continually fracture to expose new cutting points, delivering a sustained cut rate and longer life than conventional abrasives. YF-weight polyester cloth backing provides robust dimensional stability and tear resistance during heavy stock removal on carbon steel substrates. Closed-coat construction ensures uniform abrasive coverage for predictable removal, consistent finishes and reduced belt change frequency. The Film-Lok splice creates a strong, low-profile joint to improve tracking and reduce vibration in continuous and automated operations. Single-flex design allows this 984F belt to conform to platen and wheel contacts while preserving controlled material removal characteristics. Applicable for grinding, deburring, surface preparation, polishing and finishing, the belt suits both wet and dry processes for process flexibility. Compared to a standard 60 grit sanding disc or 60 grit grinding wheel, the Cubitron II 60+ offers faster stock removal with improved life and thermal performance. Choose the 3M 7010511343 for high-throughput workshops needing consistent results, fewer belt changes and dependable abrasive performance.

Product Features and Benefits

Precision-Shaped Ceramic Grain

Self-fracturing ceramic mineral maintains sharp cutting edges for sustained removal on the 3M 7010511343 Cubitron II 984F belt.

60+ Grit, High Removal Rate

The 60+ grit profile provides aggressive material removal comparable to a 60 grit sanding disc while preserving surface control for downstream finishing.

Large 6" x 168" Cloth Belt

Wide, long format reduces changeovers on production grinders and matches the needs of large-scale metalworking operations.

Film-Lok Splice for Continuous Duty

Robust Film-Lok splice improves joint strength and tracking reliability during extended runs on conveyors and backstands.

YF-Weight Polyester Backing (Closed-Coat)

Durable cloth backing with closed-coat abrasive distribution ensures predictable cutting performance and resistance to tearing in heavy-use scenarios.

Frequently Asked Questions

What machines is the 3M 7010511343 compatible with?

The 3M 7010511343 Cubitron II 984F belt is suited to manual backstands, large belt grinders and conveyorized finishing equipment used in heavy fabrication shops.

How does the 60+ grit compare to a 60 grit grinding wheel?

The 60+ Cubitron II belt offers faster sectional removal and longer life than many 60 grit grinding wheels, with cooler cutting and lower heat transfer to the workpiece.

Can the 6"x168" 984F belt be used wet?

Yes, the belt supports wet or dry operation, allowing coolant-assisted grinding to reduce heat and extend abrasive life where required.

Does the Film-Lok splice reduce downtime in continuous production?

Yes, Film-Lok splice provides a strong, low-profile joint that lowers the incidence of splice failures and reduces belt change interruptions.

What is 60 grit sandpaper used for?

The 60-grit sandpaper (and equivalent 60+ abrasive belts) is used for aggressive material removal, shaping, weld blending and rapid stock removal in metalworking and fabrication.
