3M 7010512133 | 984F x 80+ Grit x 72.000" OAL Precision Shaped Ceramic Cloth Belt

Description

The 3M 7010512133 Cubitron 984F II ceramic belt is a heavy-duty abrasive made to deliver fast, consistent cutting in industrial grinding and finishing. Sized at 1.5" x 72" with an 80+ grit formulation, it strikes a balance between aggressive material removal and controlled surface quality. Precision-shaped ceramic grains keep cutting edges sharp longer than conventional abrasives, enhancing productivity and reducing belt changes in production environments. A Film-Lok splice provides a low-profile, durable joint that resists separation and snagging during high-speed use, improving uptime on belt grinders and automated systems. Built on a robust YF-weight polyester cloth backing, the belt endures high pressure and heat, offering dimensional stability for demanding applications. Closed-coat abrasive coverage concentrates cutting power, limits glazing, and extends service life, which is valuable when replacing or outperforming an 80‑grit sanding disc. Single-flex construction allows the belt to conform to edges, contours, and welds, useful across surface prep, deburring, polishing, and finishing tasks. The 72-inch length reduces the frequency of belt replacements compared to shorter, narrow belts, supporting longer runs on bench or robotic setups. It has a red-coded 984F chemistry and advanced ceramic grain design to help minimize heat buildup, preserving workpiece integrity on stainless and exotic alloys under medium to high pressure. Choose this belt when you need the cutting speed of true industrial ceramic abrasive with the versatility to handle both stock removal and finishing in one tool.

Product Features and Benefits

Precision-Shaped Ceramic Grains

Deliver rapid, sharp cutting with longer life than many standard abrasives, reducing downtime and increasing throughput over typical 80‑grit sanding disc use.

Film-Lok Splice For Dependable Joints

Low‑profile, high‑strength splice resists separation during continuous, high‑speed grinding, keeping belts running longer without failures.

YF-Weight Polyester Cloth Backing

Offers superior tensile strength and heat resistance, allowing the belt to withstand heavy pressure and prolonged use in surface prep and finishing.

Closed-Coat 80+ Formulation

Maximizes abrasive coverage for aggressive cutting and less glazing, ideal for efficient deburring, polishing, and finishing.

1.5" x 72" Size For Longer Runs

Extra length reduces belt changes in production, supporting continuous work on portable, bench-top, or automated systems.

Frequently Asked Questions

What are the primary uses of the 3M 7010512133 belt?

Best suited for surface preparation, deburring, polishing, and finishing where fast removal and a consistent finish are needed.

How does this belt compare to a typical 80‑grit sanding disc?

It provides faster removal, longer life, and better joint reliability than many discs, especially under medium- to high-pressure work.

Is the backing type important for performance?

Yes, YF-weight backing adds strength and stability, allowing the belt to work effectively in heavy grinding without tearing.

Can it be used on automated or robotic grinding systems?

Absolutely, its durable splice, advanced grain, and strong backing make it well-suited to continuous use in automated setups.

What is 80 grit sandpaper used for?

Used for medium stock removal, shaping, and smoothing prior to finer finishing, the 3M 7010512133 belt excels in these applications with higher efficiency.
