3M 7010515003 | 984F x 80+ Grit x 90.000" OAL Precision Shaped Ceramic Cloth Belt

Description

The 3M 7010515003 Cubitron II 984F ceramic belt is made for high-efficiency metalworking where consistency and life matter. This 984F x 80+ grit belt uses precision-shaped ceramic grains to cut faster and last longer than conventional abrasives. Built on a YF-weight polyester cloth backing, the single-flex design balances strength with adaptability for handheld and machine applications. Its closed-coat construction maintains abrasive coverage for aggressive deburring and surface preparation. The Film-Lok splice provides a strong, low-profile joint that reduces downtime in continuous grinding systems. Made for applications from grinding to polishing, the belt excels at finishing stainless and carbon steels. Trades and fabrication shops will find it a dependable partner for finishing tasks that previously relied on a 3M 80 grit sanding disc. The 80 grit sandpaper of this belt proves ideal for medium stock removal and initial finishing operations. The 90.000" overall length suits a wide range of belt machines and automated setups. Use the 3M cubitron 984F II ceramic belt to speed cycles and maintain finish quality in production environments.
