3M 7010513602 | 984F x 60+ Grit x 132.000" OAL Precision Shaped Ceramic Cloth Belt

Description

The 3M 7010513602 is a long‑run precision ceramic belt built for demanding metalworking tasks where rapid stock removal and consistent finish are essential. With 60+ grit, this belt provides a strong cutting rate that is well suited to grinding, surface preparation, finishing, deburring and polishing on a broad range of metals. Its 132‑inch overall length and 1.5‑inch width offer extended service intervals and reliable tracking on belt‑driven systems, reducing downtime between belt changes. Precision‑shaped ceramic grains continuously renew sharp cutting edges, allowing the belt to cut fast and resist glazing under medium- to high-pressure conditions. A YF‑weight polyester cloth backing gives this belt tear resistance and dimensional stability for use on manual, bench, or industrial machines. Closed‑coat construction ensures uniform abrasive coverage, improving predictability of material removal across the belt’s life. Film‑Lok splice technology provides a low‑profile, durable joint that supports continuous operations and helps maintain uptime in production settings. The belt is made for use on stainless steel and exotic alloys as well as carbon steel, delivering uniform finishes and heat resistance noted for Cubitron II cloth belts. Its design also minimizes burning during end‑grain sanding and helps sustain cutting performance in robotic or high‑pressure applications. Overall, the 3M 7010513602 offers a reliable, high‑efficiency alternative to traditional 60 grit sanding or grinding products, especially where long belts and continuous cutting are preferred.

Product Features and Benefits

Precision‑Shaped Ceramic Abrasive

Continually fractures to form fresh, sharp cutting points, enabling fast material removal and extended belt life compared with conventional abrasives.

132" Overall Length with 1.5" Width

Long belt length and moderate width support prolonged service, stable tracking, and fewer changes in continuous grinding or finishing operations.

YF‑Weight Polyester Cloth Backing

Durable cloth backing resists tearing, maintains shape under load, and supports reliable use on manual, bench, or automated equipment.

Closed‑Coat Construction

High abrasive coverage provides uniform cutting action across the belt, enhancing predictability of finish quality and removal rate.

Film‑Lok Splice Reliability

Low‑profile, robust splice reduces the risk of joint failure and downtime, improving overall uptime on production lines or robotic cells.

Frequently Asked Questions

What are the main applications for the 3M 7010513602?

Ideal for grinding, surface preparation, finishing, deburring and polishing on stainless steel, carbon steel and exotic alloys using a premium ceramic belt.

Is this belt a suitable alternative to a 60 grit sanding disc or grinding wheel?

Yes, its 60+ ceramic grit offers comparable or superior cutting efficiency and finish control, especially in continuous or high‑pressure tasks.

Can this belt be used in automated or robotic grinding setups?

Yes, strong backing, heat resistance, and Cubitron II’s fast‑cut design make it well suited to robotic, high‑pressure, or continuous operations.

How does the belt handle heat and glazing during intense use?

The ceramic grain and belt construction resist heat buildup and glazing, helping maintain uniform finishes and cutting performance over time.

What is 60-grit sandpaper used for?

The 60-grit sandpaper, like this 60+ ceramic belt, is used for aggressive material removal, initial shaping, fast stock removal and deburring on metals.
