3M 7010513553 | 984F x 36+ Grit x 18.000" OAL Precision Shaped Ceramic Cloth Belt

Description

The 3M 7010513553 Cubitron II 984F II is a high-performance 0.25" x 18" ceramic cloth belt made for demanding finishing and deburring applications. Its precision-shaped ceramic grains, which are 36+ grit, continuously fracture to expose new cutting points, allowing for fast and consistent stock removal. The 3M 7010513553 is made to run cooler than traditional abrasives, lowering the risk of metal discoloration and heat-related stress cracks on sensitive alloys. The YF-weight polyester backing offers exceptional strength in medium- and high-pressure applications, extending belt life and increasing part throughput. Closed-coat construction maximizes abrasive contact for aggressive material removal while providing consistent finishes for subsequent polishing steps. Fabri-Lok splice technology provides a dependable joint suitable for both manual and automated belt processes, reducing unplanned stoppages. This 3M Cubitron 984F II ceramic belt reduces changeouts in robotic and pressure-assisted systems, saving time in manufacturing settings. It should be used in conjunction with a 36-grit sanding disc or grinding disc for rapid weld blending, heavy burr removal, and initial surface preparation. The small size is ideal for tight fixtures, edge work, and precision deburring, where control and cooling are critical. 3M 7010513553 is recommended for applications requiring the cutting speed of 3M Cubitron 36 grit with longer life and lower thermal impact.

Product Features and Benefits

Continuous Self-Sharpening Grain

The precision-shaped ceramic grains on the 3M 7010513553 continually break to expose sharp points, delivering faster cutting than standard 36-grit sanding disc options.

Engineered for Cooler Operation

The belt is formulated to run cooler, reducing discoloration and stress cracks on stainless and nickel alloys during heavy grinding tasks.

High-Strength YF Polyester Backing

YF-weight backing gives the 0.25" x 18" 3M Cubitron 984F II ceramic belt the tensile strength needed for pressure-assisted and robotic applications.

Fabri-Lok Splice for Reliability

Fabri-Lok splice technology provides a secure, low-profile joint that reduces downtime and improves run stability in continuous operations.

Extended Belt Life and Productivity

Longer life per belt means fewer changeouts and more parts per belt when using this 3M Cubitron 36-grit solution for heavy-duty prep work.

Frequently Asked Questions

What is the 3M 7010513553 best used for?

The 3M 7010513553 excels at aggressive deburring, weld blending, and initial surface preparation where a 36-grit grinding disc is typically selected.

How does the 36+ grit affect finish quality?

The 36+ grit on this 3M Cubitron 984F II ceramic belt provides rapid material removal while leaving a controlled surface for follow-up polishing.

Will this belt reduce heat tint on stainless parts?

Yes, its cooler-running formulation helps minimize heat tint and metallurgical changes compared with many conventional abrasives.

Can the small 0.25" x 18" belt be used in automated cells?

Yes, the Fabri-Lok splice and YF-weight backing make the 3M 7010513553 suitable for robotic and pressure-assisted applications, reducing changeouts.

What is 36-grit sandpaper used for in metalwork?

In metalwork, 36 grit is used for heavy stock removal, aggressive blending, and preparing surfaces for finer finishing steps; it pairs well with a 3M 36 grit Roloc disc for spot work.
