3M 7010514688 | 984F x 60+ Grit x 80.75" OAL Precision Shaped Ceramic Cloth Belt

Description

The 3M 7010514688 Cubitron 984F II ceramic belt is made for precision metal finishing where consistent cut and long life are essential. At 1.188" x 80.75" (30.175mm x 2051.05mm) and 60+ grit, this narrow-profile belt balances removal rate and surface refinement suitable for panel and edge work. Precision-shaped ceramic grains maintain sharp cutting points for sustained performance compared with standard 60 grit sanding disc consumables. Built on a YF-weight polyester cloth backing, the belt resists tearing and tracks reliably on small- to medium-format conveyors and benchtop belt machines. Closed-coat construction concentrates abrasive coverage for efficient grinding, polishing, deburring and surface preparation tasks across steels and alloys. The single-flex design provides controlled conformability for working on curved profiles while preserving stability under pressure during continuous grinding cycles. A Film-Lok splice delivers a low-profile, high-strength joint to minimize seam failures and reduce downtime in automated and manual operations. Red color coding aids quick identification in busy shops that stock multiple grits and widths of 3M cubitron 984F II ceramic belt variants. Recommended applications include weld blending, edge dressing, light stock removal and final surface conditioning where a 60 grit grinding wheel equivalent is desired. Specify 3M 7010514688 when you need a narrow, robust 984F belt that delivers predictable life, high removal rates and consistent finishes.

Product Features and Benefits

Precision-Shaped Ceramic Grain Technology

Delivers self-sharpening cutting action for prolonged life and faster removal than comparable 60 grit sanding disc abrasives.

Compact 1.188" x 80.75" Format

Narrow width accesses tight profiles and edges where larger belts cannot, enabling detail work with 3M 7010514688 reliability.

YF-Weight Polyester Cloth Backing

Provides strength and tear resistance for continuous operation on benchtop and small automated belt systems.

Closed-Coat Abrasive Coverage

Maximizes abrasive contact for efficient grinding and polishing tasks, offering performance similar to a 60 grit grinding wheel.

Film-Lok Splice for Seam Durability

Low-profile, high-strength splice ensures smooth tracking and reduces seam-related failures during high-speed use.

Frequently Asked Questions

What materials is the 3M 7010514688 best suited for?

Best for carbon steel, stainless steel and common alloys used in deburring, weld blending and surface preparation with a Cubitron 984F II ceramic belt.

Will this belt run on small benchtop belt sanders?

Yes, the 1.188" width and single-flex design make the 3M 984F compatible with benchtop and small-format belt machines.

How does the 60+ grit compare to other 984F grits?

60+ grit offers a balance of removal and finish, faster than 80+ grits but finer than 36+ grits—suiting finishing and prep work where 3M 60 grit sandpaper would be used.

Does the Film-Lok splice improve uptime?

Yes, the Film-Lok splice provides a strong, low-profile joint that improves tracking and reduces seam failures in continuous operations.

What is 60 grit sandpaper used for?

60-grit sandpaper is used for medium-to-heavy material removal, shaping, weld removal and surface preparation prior to finer finishing steps.
