Description
The 3M 7010514273 is a long, heavy‑duty Cubitron 984F II ceramic belt made for serious metal removal and finishing across shop and automated environments. At 98 inches overall length and 3 inches width, it’s sized for larger belt systems that demand stability, endurance, and consistent cut. Precision‑shaped ceramic grains deliver extremely fast cutting with long life, helping reduce belt changeovers when working on stainless steel, nickel, and cobalt alloys. The YF‑weight polyester cloth backing resists wear under medium‑to‑high pressure, making it suitable for industrial grinding, surface preparation, polishing, deburring, and finishing. Closed‑coat construction gives dense abrasive coverage for uniform performance from start to finish. A Film‑Lok splice reinforces the joint for continuous rotation on automated lines or high‑speed belt sanders, supporting smooth operation over long runs. This belt can be used wet or dry, so shops can tune processes to the metal and finish required. Its maroon color and clear grit marking help operators quickly identify the 36+ grade at a glance. For production or repair work where downtime is costly, this specific 98" belt balances aggressive stock removal with dependable lifespan. Available at a notable discount from a reputable industrial supplier, it’s a practical choice for heavy users of 36‑grade ceramic abrasives.

Frequently Asked Questions
What applications suit this 98" belt best?
Heavy grinding, surface preparation, deburring, and finishing on nickel, stainless, and cobalt alloys, especially in production settings.
How does this belt compare with a 36 grit sanding disc?
Both target aggressive material removal; this Cubitron 36+ belt offers faster cuts and longer life on metal substrates under pressure.
Is it compatible with automated lines or just manual sanders?
Yes. Film-Lok splice and long-length support automated belt systems, while also working on large file belt sanders and backstands.
Can this belt handle wet finishing processes?
Yes, the belt is suitable for wet or dry use, giving more control over heat, dust, and finish quality on demanding metals.
Why pick a 36+ grit Cubitron over higher grits for these metals?
36+ grit removes more stock quickly for rough grinding or initial shaping, which is ideal before moving to higher grits for final polish.
