3M 7010514645 | 984F x 60+ Grit x 148.000" OAL Precision Shaped Ceramic Cloth Belt

Description

The 3M 7010514645 Cubitron II 984F ceramic belt is a precision-shaped abrasive made for high-performance metalworking. Sized at 2.0" x 148.000" OAL with 60+ grit, it delivers aggressive stock removal while maintaining consistent finishes. The Precision Shaped Ceramic grains provide self-sharpening cutting action that prolongs belt life and improves productivity. Built on a YF-weight polyester cloth backing, this 3M cubitron 984F II ceramic belt resists tearing and stands up to heavy use. A closed-coat construction maximizes abrasive coverage for fast material removal comparable to a 60 grit sanding disc in many applications. The Film-Lok splice ensures a reliable seam for continuous operation in both hand and automated sanding systems. Single-flex construction provides tool compatibility and smooth handling during finishing tasks. It excels at grinding, deburring and polishing stainless steel, carbon steel and exotic alloys where a 60 grit grinding wheel might otherwise be used. A heat-reducing grinding aid helps limit thermal damage and yields cleaner workpiece edges. Choose the 3M 7010514645 for demanding surface preparation jobs that require speed, durability and consistent finish quality.
