3M 7010513148 | 984F x 36+ Grit x 30.000" OAL Precision Shaped Ceramic Cloth Belt

Description

The 3M 7010513148 Cubitron II 984F 36+ grit belt is made for quick stock removal and precise surface preparation on stainless steel. This 1.0" x 30.0" narrow-profile belt provides unparalleled access to tight radii and ID features that larger belts cannot reach. Precision-shaped ceramic grains offer aggressive cutting action while maintaining a consistent finish when compared to a 36 grit sanding disc. The Fabri-Lok splice improves flexible joint durability for repeated bending and single-flex backstand work in production environments. The YF-weight polyester cloth backing withstands heavy pressure and resists tearing over long runs. Closed-coat construction and an engineered grinding aid reduce loading and help control heat, resulting in longer belt life. This 3M cubitron 984F II ceramic belt is made for deburring, grinding, polishing, and finishing small parts, increasing throughput. Technicians benefit from fewer changeovers and more consistent surface profiles, which reduce rework and accelerate downstream processes. The 3M 7010513148 performs well in tight metalworking operations that require precise access and aggressive material removal. When compared to traditional 36 grit grinding disc alternatives, this belt offers reliable ID access as well as long life.

Product Features and Benefits

High Cut-Rate Ceramic Grain Structure

The 36+ grit precision-shaped ceramic grain on the 3M 7010513148 ensures fast stock removal and fewer sanding passes compared to standard 36 grit sanding discs.

Ideal for Tight Radial and ID Finishing

The narrow 1.0″ width enables access into small diameters, grooves and contours where wider belts cannot effectively operate.

Low-Profile, Heat-Resistant Construction

Thanks to the closed-coat formulation and integrated grinding aid, the 3M 7010513148 maintains cooler cut zones and reduced loading during prolonged use.

Robust Backing with Single-Flex Design

YF-weight polyester cloth backing combined with single-flex construction offers durability under backstand and bench operations, reducing belt failure.

Optimised for Automated and Manual Systems

The Fabri-Lok splice ensures smooth tracking in both automated conveyors and manual belt applications, enhancing belt uptime and reliability.

Frequently Asked Questions
