3M 7010513412 | 984F x 36+ Grit x 24.000" OAL Precision Shaped Ceramic Cloth Belt

Description

The 3M 7010513412 cubitron 984F ii ceramic belt is a 36+ grit precision-shaped abrasive made for aggressive stock removal and controlled finishing. This 24.0" OAL × 3.0" width belt features a Fabri-Lok splice and YF-weight polyester cloth backing for production durability and stable tracking. Precision-shaped ceramic grain continuously fractures to reveal fresh cutting points, delivering fast, consistent material removal. Closed-coat construction reduces loading and improves usable life versus a standard 36 grit sanding disc.
The belt is made to run cooler, helping to reduce metal discoloration and minimize heat-related stress cracks on sensitive alloys. Single-flex backing balances conformability and control, making it suitable for both flat panels and contoured surfaces. Applications include weld preparation, deburring, surface preparation, polishing and finishing in high-throughput shops.
Longer parts-per-belt life reduces changeouts and lowers consumable cost compared to conventional 36 grit grinding disc options. Fabri-Lok splice and YF backing reduce downtime in automated and pressure-assisted systems while maintaining repeatable results.
Choose the 3M cubitron 984F ii ceramic belt when you need production-grade 36 grit performance with cooler operation, improved life and consistent finishes.

Product Features and Benefits

Controlled, High-Rate Material Removal

The 3M 7010513412 delivers aggressive yet predictable cutting so shops get the same rapid removal as a 36 grit sanding disc without sacrificing final geometry.

Immediate Cutting Efficiency Low Break-In

This 3M cubitron 984F ii ceramic belt reaches productive cut rates quickly, matching a 36 grit grinding disc on first use and shortening setup time.

Consistent Tracking & Low Seam Impact

The Fabri-Lok splice and YF backing on the 3M 984F reduce seam marking and improve tracking versus localized tools like a 3M 36 grit roloc disc.

Better Yield / Lower Consumable Cost

The 3M 984F gives higher parts-per-belt than comparable grinding wheel approaches, reducing downtime and cost per part.

Cooler Cut Less Heat, Cleaner Finish

Designed to limit heat transfer in production: heavy removal with minimized discoloration.

Frequently Asked Questions

What is the 3M 7010513412 best used for?

Heavy stock removal, weld prep and initial surface shaping where a 36 grit sanding disc would normally be specified.

Can this belt replace a 36 grit grinding disc in my process?

Yes, the 3M cubitron 984F ii ceramic belt often outperforms a 36 grit grinding disc by cutting faster and lasting longer in production runs.

Is it a good substitute for a 3M 36 grit roloc disc?

Use the belt when you need continuous coverage and higher throughput; the roloc disc is still useful for very localized touch-ups.

Which equipment works best with the 3M 7010513412?

Backstands, bench motors, wide-wrap contact wheels and pressure-assist grinders that accept a 24" OAL × 3" width belt perform best.

How can I maximize life from this belt compared to 36 grit sandpaper?

Use medium/high consistent pressure, proper wheel speed, and keep contact wheels clean, and let the 3M cubitron 984F ii ceramic belt self-break in for optimal parts-per-belt yield.
