3M 7010513685 | 984F x 36+ Grit x 48.000" OAL Precision Shaped Ceramic Cloth Belt

Description

The 3M 7010513685 Cubitron II 984F ceramic belt is made for heavy material removal and reliable finishing in industrial metalworking. This belt, with an overall length of 48.0 inches and a width of 6.0 inches, provides ample coverage for quick stock removal and efficient surface preparation. The 3M cubitron 984F ceramic belt is made with precision-shaped ceramic grain and provides aggressive cutting action while remaining cooler than conventional abrasives. The belt, with a grit rating of 36+, is ideal for rapid stock removal, rough shaping, weld cleanup, and initial blend operations. A strong YF-weight polyester cloth backing provides the strength and tear resistance needed for heavy-duty grinding and deburring operations. Closed-coat construction improves abrasive coverage for consistent cutting and reduces glazing throughout the belt's life, increasing productivity on production lines. The Film-Lok splice provides a smooth, low-profile joint that reduces seam marking and enhances reliability in both continuous and intermittent applications. The single-flex construction strikes a balance between conformity and stiffness, ensuring that the belt tracks well on platen and belt finishing machines while producing predictable scratch patterns. This 36 grit 3M cubitron belt is suited to applications using wide-format tools and replaces standard 36 grit sanding discs or 36 grit grinding discs where higher cut rates and longer life are required. Choose the 3M 7010513685 for quick, consistent results in fabrication, weld preparation, heavy deburring, and primary stock removal.

Product Features and Benefits

Precision-Shaped 36+ Ceramic Grain

Self-sharpening ceramic particles deliver aggressive, sustained cutting power, outperforming standard 36 grit sanding discs in life and removal rate.

Wide 6.0" Face for High Coverage

The 6-inch width covers more surface per pass, reducing cycle times on large parts compared to a single 36 grit grinding disc.

Robust YF-Weight Polyester Backing

Heavy-duty cloth backing resists tearing and maintains dimensional stability under high pressure for consistent finishing.

Closed-Coat, High Abrasive Density

The Cubitron II 984F ceramic belt has high grain loading, provides uniform scratch patterns, and reduces glazing, making it ideal where a 36 grit sanding disc would normally be used for aggressive stock removal.

Film-Lok Low-Profile Splice

Durable Film-Lok splice minimizes seam impact and downtime, ensuring smooth tracking and reliable operation in continuous belt machines.

Frequently Asked Questions

What is the 3M 7010513685 best used for?

It’s best for heavy stock removal, weld blending, rough shaping and primary surface prep where a 3m cubitron 36 grit belt is needed.

How does 36+ grit compare to finer grits?

36+ grit removes material quickly and is used for aggressive grinding stages before switching to finer 120 grit 3M cubitron or similar discs.

Can this belt replace a general 36 grit sanding disc or grinding disc?

Yes, the 48" × 6" belt provides broader coverage and longer life than single discs in large-area grinding and finishing.

Is the Film-Lok splice reliable for production use?

Yes, the Film-Lok splice offers a low-profile, high-strength joint made to reduce seam marking and downtime on continuous operations.

Which machines accept this 48" × 6" belt?

Commonly used on backstands, wide platen belt machines, and production finishing stations that benefit from a wide 36 grit 3M cubitron belt.
