3M 7010512538 | 984F x 120+ Grit x 60.000" OAL Precision Shaped Ceramic Cloth Belt

Description

The 3M 7010512538 Cubitron II 984F II ceramic belt is made for surface preparation, finishing, polishing and light grinding in industrial metalworking shops. Sized at 8.0" width and 60.0" overall length (203.2 mm x 1524.0 mm), this 120+ grit belt delivers refined cutting for a controlled finish while maintaining removal rates. Precision Shaped Ceramic grains provide consistent cutting edges that self-sharpen for extended life compared with conventional abrasives and 120 grit sanding discs. A YF-weight polyester cloth backing stabilizes the belt under pressure, resisting stretch and tear in repetitive finishing and polishing operations. Closed-coat abrasive formulation ensures maximum abrasive coverage and consistent surface texture suitable for 3M cubitron 120 grit applications. Single-flex construction allows the 3M 984F to be used on a wide range of belt sanding and finishing machines, simplifying tool integration. The Film-Lok splice provides a low-profile, reliable joint that reduces downtime and improves belt life in production and automated lines. Color-coded red backing and the 984F formulation yield repeatable results when substituting between 3M roloc sanding discs 120 grit and belt systems. Ideal for blending, finishing welds, deburring and final stock removal where operators require predictable finish quality and long-lasting abrasive performance. Specify 3M 7010512538 when you need a premium 3M cubitron 984F II ceramic belt that pairs efficiency with a consistent 120+ grit finish.

Frequently Asked Questions

What is the 3M 7010512538 best used for?

The 3M 7010512538 Cubitron II 984F belt is ideal for final finishing, polishing, blending welds, light grinding and deburring on stainless and carbon steels.

How does 120+ grit affect surface finish compared to lower grits?

120+ grit on the 3M 7010512538 balances fine material removal with a smoother surface finish, reducing follow-up sanding versus coarser grits.

Can this belt substitute 3M roloc 120 grit discs in some applications?

Yes, the 3M 984F offers comparable finish quality to 3M Roloc 120 grit discs while delivering longer life across large-area sanding tasks.

What are the advantages of the Film-Lok splice on the 3M 7010512538?

Film-Lok splice provides a low-profile, strong joint that reduces snagging and extends usable life in continuous belt and automated finishing systems.

How should I use 120 grit sanding disc techniques with this belt?

Use the 3M 984F for medium-fine stock removal and finishing passes, apply steady pressure and progressive feed to achieve consistent 120+ grit finishes.
