3M 7010511431 | 984F x 60+ Grit x 72.000" OAL Precision Shaped Ceramic Cloth Belt

Description

The 3M 7010511431 Cubitron II 984F ceramic belt is made to deliver rapid material removal while maintaining consistent surface quality for industrial metalwork. Its 60+ grit formula uses precision-shaped ceramic grains for sustained cutting performance and extended life on stainless and carbon steels. A YF-weight polyester cloth backing provides dimensional stability and resilience under medium- to high-pressure grinding and deburring. This 72.0" overall length and 0.5" width suit narrow-belt applications and many automated finishing systems. Closed-coat construction gives aggressive cutting action with controlled loading for repeatable finishing when used alongside a 60-grit sanding disc. The single-flex design allows use on a range of grinders and finishing tools without sacrificing belt tracking or edge control. An integrated Film-Lok splice ensures a smooth joint that reduces snags and downtime in continuous operations. Built-in grinding aid helps reduce heat transfer to the workpiece, improving finish quality and protecting temper on heat-sensitive alloys. Ideal for weld dressing, deburring, polishing and surface preparation, this 3M cubitron 984F II ceramic belt improves throughput and lowers consumable costs. Choose the 3M 7010511431 belt for consistent results where a 60-grit grinding wheel or 3M 60 grit sandpaper would traditionally be used.

Product Features and Benefits

Precision-Shaped Ceramic Grain

Precision-shaped ceramic grains on the 3M 7010511431 provide fast, consistent stock removal and longer life versus conventional abrasives such as 3M 60 grit sandpaper.

60+ Grit Aggressiveness

The 60+ grit size balances aggressive material removal with a controlled finish, making it a perfect partner to a 60-grit sanding disc in production workflows.

YF-Weight Polyester Cloth Backing

Durable YF-weight backing supports the narrow 0.5" belt under pressure, ensuring the 3M cubitron 984F II ceramic belt resists tearing and maintains stability.

Film-Lok Splice for Reliability

Film-Lok splice technology delivers a smooth, dependable joint that reduces snags and downtime in continuous grinding or robotic systems.

Closed-Coat with Grinding Aid

Closed-coat construction and a grinding aid minimize loading and heat build-up, improving finish quality during extended runs compared with a 60 grit grinding wheel.

Frequently Asked Questions

What is the manufacturer part number for this belt?

The belt is listed as 3M 7010511431 and is part of the 984F series of Cubitron II ceramic belts.

What is the overall length and width of the 3M 7010511431?
