3M 7010514636 | 984F x 80+ Grit x 18.000" OAL Precision Shaped Ceramic Cloth Belt

Description

The 3M 7010514636 is a compact, high-performance cubitron 984F ii ceramic belt made for precision metal finishing and shop floor productivity. Rated at 80+ grit, this belt delivers aggressive cutting with a controlled finish, a superior alternative to a conventional 80 grit sanding disc for many jobs. Precision-shaped ceramic grain continuously fractures to form sharp cutting points, increasing material removal rates and belt life. Designed to run cooler, the belt reduces metal discoloration and minimizes the risk of heat-related stress cracks during prolonged use. Its YF-weight polyester cloth backing provides the strength needed for medium- to high-pressure applications on stainless and nickel alloys. The Fabri-Lok splice reduces the chance of joint failure and cuts downtime in both robotic and manual pressure-assisted systems. At an 18.000" overall length and 0.375" width, this 3M 7010514636 belt is ideal for narrow-profile grinding, polishing, deburring and surface preparation. Closed-coat construction keeps abrasive coverage high, producing more parts per belt and fewer changeouts compared to standard 3M 80 grit sanding disc options. Single-flex design offers consistent contact on contoured surfaces, making it suitable where precise blending and finishing are needed. Use this 80 grit 3M cubitron solution to increase throughput, reduce downtime, and improve part-to-part consistency in production environments.

Product Features and Benefits

Stable, Predictable Cut Rate

The 3M cubitron 984F ii ceramic belt delivers a steady, repeatable cut rate so shops hit target stock removal like they would using a 3M 80 grit sanding disc.

Low Heat-Transfer Chemistry

Formulated to limit heat transfer to the workpiece, this 3m cubitron 984f ii ceramic belt lowers the risk of metallurgical changes during continuous grinding.

Extended Run-Time for Continuous Production

Optimized abrasive layout and backing extend runtime, reducing belt changes and downtime in robotic and high-throughput systems.

Narrow-Profile Precision

The 18.000" OAL and 0.375" width of the 3M 7010514636 make it ideal for tight spots and fine edge work where an 80 grit sanding disc is too large.

Contour-Friendly Single-Flex Backing

YF-weight polyester backing provides a balance of flexibility and support so the 3M cubitron 80 grit belt conforms to contours while keeping stability under pressure.

Frequently Asked Questions

Can I use the 3M 7010514636 for both coarse grinding and final blending?

Yes, the 80+ grit on this 3M cubitron 984F ii ceramic belt is made to handle aggressive material removal and produce a blendable finish in fewer passes than some conventional belts.

How does 3m cubitron 80 grit compare to standard aluminum-oxide belts?

Precision-shaped ceramic in cubitron 80 grit lasts longer and cuts cooler than many aluminum-oxide belts, delivering more parts per belt and less glazing.

Which tools work best with this narrow ceramic belt?

The 3M 7010514636 fits narrow spindle and bench-mounted belt systems, handheld mini-belts, and many robotic end-effectors designed for precision finishing.

What simple steps increase the lifespan of this cubitron 984F ii ceramic belt?

Maintain proper tracking, avoid excessive pressure, clear debris often, and match belt speed to the material these practices help maximize the life and performance of the 80 grit sanding disc alternative.

Is additional PPE required when using this ceramic belt versus an 80 grit sanding disc?

Standard PPE (eye protection, respirator for dust-prone tasks, hearing protection and gloves) is recommended when using the 3M 7010514636 to manage ceramic dust and high-speed operations.
