3M 7010513550 | 984F x 60+ Grit x 79.000" OAL Precision Shaped Ceramic Cloth Belt

Description

The 3M 7010513550 Cubitron 984F II ceramic belt is made for aggressive metal removal while providing controlled finishes in manufacturing environments. This 60+ grit abrasive employs precision-shaped ceramic grains to achieve fast cut rates and long-lasting cutting performance on stainless and carbon steels. The belt, measuring 79.0" OAL and 3.0" in width (2006.6 mm x 76.2 mm), is compatible with many portable and stationary belt grinding systems for versatility. Under medium to heavy pressure, the YF-weight polyester cloth backing provides excellent tear resistance and dimensional stability. The closed-coat design improves abrasive contact for more consistent stock removal, comparable to high-performance 60 grit sanding disc operations. A built-in grinding aid reduces heat and loading while protecting sensitive alloys and improving finish quality over long runs. The Film-Lok splice creates a smooth, reliable joint for automated and manual finishing, reducing unexpected downtime on production lines. The belt's single-flex design allows it to conform to various platen and contact-wheel shapes, making it ideal for tasks such as deburring, blending, and finishing. The 3M 7010513550 is suitable for grinding, deburring, polishing, and surface preparation tasks requiring 60 grit grinding wheel performance. The 3M Cubitron 984F II ceramic belt improves throughput and reduces belt changes, resulting in measurable productivity gains in metalworking.
