3M 7010513690 | 984F x 36+ Grit x 75.000" OAL Precision Shaped Ceramic Cloth Belt

Description

The 3M 7010513690 Cubitron II 984F 36+ grit cloth belt is a production-grade abrasive made to remove heavy stock and prepare surfaces consistently. This 3M cubitron 984F ii ceramic belt, measuring 36.0" wide and 75.0" in overall length, is designed to cover large panels with fewer passes, lowering cycle times in high-volume shops. Precision-shaped ceramic grains provide long-lasting cutting action and quick material removal for steel, stainless steel, and exotic alloys. Closed-coat abrasive formatting provides more abrasive coverage, resulting in a longer life and more predictable performance than open-coat options. The YF-weight polyester backing ensures dimensional stability and tear resistance under heavy loads and high temperatures. A Film-Lok splice creates a smooth, long-lasting joint that performs well on wide-belt machines and conveyorized systems. The belt's single-flex construction enables it to run smoothly on platen, contact-wheel, and broad-contact grinding systems used in weld blending and panel dressing. This belt is ideal for initial shaping and aggressive stock removal in conjunction with a grinding disc or 3M cubitron 36 grit product. The 3M ceramic belt performs the same coarse-cut tasks on an industrial scale. Specify the 3M 7010513690 when you need robust, repeatable performance for grinding, deburring, finishing and polishing in production environments.

Product Features and Benefits

Lower Cost-Per-Part

The 3M 7010513690 offers extended life and consistent cut rates, reducing cost-per-part compared with conventional 36 grit sanding disc offerings.

Fast Cycle-Time Gains

Wide 36" coverage and precision-shaped ceramic on the 3M cubitron 984F ii ceramic belt cut passes and total cycle time versus multiple 36 grit grinding disc passes.

Improved Tracking & Stability

Film-Lok splice and YF-weight backing improve belt tracking on wide-belt machines, delivering steady finish control for 36 grit 3M cubitron disc operations.

Lower Dust & Cleaner Work Area

Closed-coat ceramic grain optimizes material removal with reduced friable dust compared to some open-coat 75-inch grinding disc options, improving shop cleanliness.

High-Load Thermal Resistance

YF-weight polyester backing plus ceramic grain provide thermal stability under high-pressure grinding, protecting workpiece metallurgy during 36+ grit cutting.

Frequently Asked Questions

How does the 3M 7010513690 reduce overall production cost?

Its longer service life and wider coverage lower belt change frequency and labor, reducing total cost compared to single 36 grit sanding disc setups.

Is the 3M 984F suitable for aluminum and softer metals?

Yes, while optimized for steel, the 3M Cubitron 984F ii ceramic belt can be used on aluminum with appropriate feed rates to avoid loading common to 36 grit grinding disc use.

What belt speed or machine type pairs best with this belt?

Wide-belt grinders and high-contact platen systems running industrial belt speeds are ideal for the 3M ceramic belt to achieve the intended sanding disc level cut.

Can this belt replace a 3M 36 grit Roloc disc in some applications?

For large-area stock removal and panel work, the 3M 7010513690 can replace any general roloc disc by delivering similar aggressive cutting at production scale.

How should operators adjust technique for 36+ grit on this belt?

Use steady, controlled feed and moderate pressure to get the expected 36 grit sanding disc–style shaping while maximizing the 3M cubitron belt’s life and finish consistency.
