3M 7010512961 | 984F x 60+ Grit x 42.000" OAL Precision Shaped Ceramic Cloth Belt

Description

The 3M 7010512961 is a 0.75" x 42" Cubitron 984f II ceramic belt made for precise deburring and finishing in high-volume shops. Its precision-shaped ceramic grains remove material quickly and have a predictable surface texture, making it possible to process parts repeatedly. The 60+ grit specification is ideal for aggressive stock removal on stainless substrates without sacrificing final pass control. A YF-weight polyester cloth backing provides the tear resistance and tracking stability required for continuous use on platen and drum grinders. The 3M 984F closed-coat construction increases abrasive concentration, allowing it to maintain cut rate and resist loading during weld blending operations. The Film-Lok splice creates a smooth, low-profile joint that reduces the risk of snags on automated lines and manual backstands. The single-flex construction adapts to a wide range of machines, making it ideal for applications requiring a 60 grit sanding disc or grinding wheel. An integrated grinding aid helps control heat buildup, protecting sensitive stainless and carbon steel workpieces during long cycles. Use this 3M cubitron 984F II ceramic belt when you need faster throughput, extended life and surface-ready finishes straight off the belt. Perfect for finishers and fabricators who rely on the consistency of 3M 60 grit sandpaper but need industrial durability and speed.

Product Features and Benefits

Precision-Shaped Ceramic Grain

Precision ceramic grains on the 3M 7010512961 fracture consistently to maintain cutting sharpness for fast stock removal compared to conventional abrasives.

Optimized 60+ Grit

The 60 grit sanding disc–equivalent grit gives balanced aggression and finish control, ideal for weld blending and medium stock removal tasks.

YF-Weight Polyester Backing

Durable cloth backing supports the 0.75" x 42" belt under heavy loads, ensuring stable tracking on centerless and platen grinders.

Closed-Coat for Reduced Loading

Closed-coat construction increases abrasive coverage to resist loading and extend usable belt life during repetitive grinding work.

Film-Lok Splice & Single-Flex Design

The Film-Lok splice provides a reliable joint, while single-flex construction allows use across cylindrical grinders, manual backstands and drum applications.

Frequently Asked Questions
