3M 7010514425 | 984F x 60+ Grit x 42.000" OAL Precision Shaped Ceramic Cloth Belt

Description

The 3M 7010514425 is a mid-length, professional-grade cubitron 984F II ceramic belt tailored for precision metalwork and production finishing. Measuring 42.0" OAL by 2.0" W, this 60+ grit belt is engineered to deliver rapid stock removal while producing consistent, controllable surfaces. Precision-shaped ceramic abrasive technology maintains cutting efficiency and life, outperforming traditional 60 grit sanding disc options in throughput. A YF-weight polyester cloth backing provides rugged dimensional stability and reliable tracking on bench motors and manual backstands.
Closed-coat abrasive loading reduces glazing and keeps the cut rate predictable across the belt life for repeatable finishing cycles. The Film-Lok splice yields a low-profile, high-strength seam that sustains continuous operation and minimizes unscheduled belt changes. Single-flex design permits conformity to platen and contoured workpieces for deburring, edge work and profile sanding with reduced chatter. Formulated to run cooler and resist loading, the 3M 984F supports wet or dry processes for a wide range of steels and alloys. Ideal where workshop efficiency matters, from weld blending to final surface prep, this belt lowers abrasive consumption per part. Specify 3M cubitron 984F II ceramic belt when you need a balanced 60+ grit solution that combines fast cutting, durability and consistent finish quality.

Product Features and Benefits

Precision-Shaped Ceramic Abrasive

Precision grains on the 3M 7010514425 fracture to expose fresh cutting edges, delivering faster metal removal than standard abrasives.

60+ Grit Production Balance

60+ grit provides aggressive removal with a controlled finish, making it an efficient alternative to a 60 grit sanding disc in many workflows.

Durable YF-Weight Polyester Backing

The YF backing stabilizes the 42” x 2” belt during high-tension runs on bench motors and manual backstands for consistent tracking.

Film-Lok Splice for Seam Integrity

The Film-Lok splice creates a low-profile, robust joint that reduces seam failures and supports uninterrupted sanding cycles.

Closed-Coat Loading for Predictability

Closed-coat construction concentrates abrasive coverage to deliver uniform cut rate and resist glazing during extended grinding tasks.

Frequently Asked Questions

What is the 3M 7010514425 best used for?

The 3M 7010514425 is ideal for deburring, grinding, finishing, polishing and surface preparation on a variety of metal substrates.

How does the 3M cubitron 984F II ceramic belt differ from conventional belts?

Its precision-shaped ceramic grains provide faster cut rates, cooler cutting and longer life compared with conventional coated abrasives.

Can this belt replace a 60 grit grinding wheel in some operations?

Yes, in many finish and profile applications the 3M 7010514425 offers comparable material removal to a 60 grit grinding wheel with less heat and distortion.

Is the 3M 7010514425 compatible with bench motors and manual backstands?

Yes, the 42” OAL and YF-weight polyester backing make it well suited to benchtopmotors, manual backstands and similar equipment.

What is 60 grit sandpaper used for

The 60 grit sandpaper is used for aggressive stock removal, initial shaping, weld blending and heavy surface preparation prior to finer finishing.
