3M 7010513828 | 984F x 80+ Grit x 300.000" OAL Precision Shaped Ceramic Cloth Belt

Description

The 3M 7010513828 Cubitron II 984F ceramic belt is a professional‑grade, narrow‑format belt built for demanding metal finishing and surface prep work. With an overall size of 6.0" x 300.0" and a long run length that supports extended operation, this 80+ grit belt provides a balance of controlled stock removal and refined surface quality. It uses 3M’s precision‑shaped ceramic grains that continually fracture to expose sharp edges, giving sustained cutting action and longer usable life than typical abrasives. 3M also adds a grinding aid in this line, which helps limit heat buildup and maintain a uniform finish under medium to high pressure. Built on a robust YF‑weight polyester cloth backing, the belt resists tearing and keeps its shape while tracking correctly on benchtop, inline, or wide‑format grinding equipment. Closed‑coat construction concentrates abrasive coverage for efficient mid‑range removal; it is well suited to tasks where an 80 grit sanding disc would traditionally be used, but with a longer service life and more consistent results. A low‑profile, high‑strength Film‑Lok splice provides reliable seam integrity, minimizing seam failures and downtime in continuous runs. The belt’s single‑flex design lets it conform slightly for curved or profiled work, yet it remains stable under pressure for surface conditioning, deburring, polishing, and light grinding. Color coding and precise specs make it easier to manage inventory and ensure the right belt is chosen for specific jobs. Specify 3M 7010513828 when required a proven, long‑lasting belt that reduces changeovers, maintains uniform finishes, and supports higher throughput in production or shop environments.

Product Features and Benefits

Precision‑Shaped Ceramic Grains

Self‑sharpening mineral fractures deliver lasting cutting efficiency and longer life than conventional abrasives for typical 80 grit sanding disc applications.

Large, Long Run 6" x 300" format

Extended belt length supports longer operation between changes, reducing interruptions in continuous or high‑volume processing.

YF‑Weight Polyester cloth backing

High‑strength backing resists tearing and keeps dimensional stability, improving tracking and reliability on various machines.

Closed‑Coat Abrasive Coverage

Maximizes abrasive contact for efficient mid‑range stock removal, giving predictable finishes comparable to 80 grit workflows.

Film‑Lok Splice

Low‑profile, durable splice ensures smooth tracking and minimizes seam‑related failures in automated or manual continuous operations.

Frequently Asked Questions

What is the 3M 7010513828 best used for?

Optimal for deburring, surface preparation, finishing, polishing, and mid‑range grinding on steel and alloys where a durable 80 grit abrasive is required.

How does this belt differ from a standard 80 grit sanding disc?

Precision ceramic grains and closed‑coat construction give faster, sustained cutting and longer life, with a more consistent finish than many conventional 80 grit discs.

Can this belt run on benchtop or inline equipment?

Yes, YF‑weight backing, Film‑Lok splice, and single‑flex design suit benchtop, inline, and other grinding or finishing systems that handle 6" belts.

How does the grinding aid improve performance?

The grinding aid helps reduce heat buildup and supports a uniform finish, especially in medium- to high‑pressure operations on stainless or exotic alloys, as well as carbon steel.

What is 80 grit sandpaper used for?

80-grit sandpaper is used for medium material removal such as preparing welds, shaping edges, smoothing rough surfaces, and initial surface preparation before finer finishing.
