Description
3M 7010515243 is a high-performance 3M cubitron 984F II ceramic belt made for demanding industrial metalworking tasks. The 60+ grit construction provides an ideal balance of aggressive stock removal and controllable surface finish. Precision-shaped ceramic grains deliver self-sharpening performance to sustain cutting efficiency across long production runs. The YF-weight polyester cloth backing ensures dimensional stability and tear resistance for continuous grinding and finishing cycles. Closed-coat abrasive coverage prolongs belt life and yields consistent results when compared to conventional abrasive belts. The Film-Lok splice secures a low-profile joint that reduces downtime and provides reliable operation in automated lines. Built-in grinding aid helps manage heat buildup, protecting stainless and exotic alloys during extended runs. Single-flex design adapts to a wide range of benchtop and portable grinders used with a 60 grit sanding disc workflow. Applications include grinding, surface preparation, deburring, finishing and polishing for steel and alloy fabrication. Specify the 3M 7010515243 to improve throughput, reduce belt changes and lower operating costs in production environments.
Product Features and Benefits

Frequently Asked Questions
What is the 3M 7010515243 best used for?
The 3M 7010515243 is ideal for grinding, surface preparation, deburring and finishing on carbon and stainless steels using 3M cubitron 984F II ceramic belt technology.
How does this belt compare with a 60 grit grinding wheel?
The 3M 7010515243 delivers broader contact-area removal with longer belt life, while a 60 grit grinding wheel provides aggressive point-contact stock removal in some setups.
Can the 3M 7010515243 be used in automated finishing lines?
Yes, Film-Lok splice strength and YF-weight backing make the 3M 7010515243 suitable for continuous operation in automated and robotic grinding systems.
What is 60 grit sandpaper used for?
The 60-grit sandpaper is used for aggressive material removal and initial shaping; the 3M 7010515243 applies this function effectively in belt grinding workflows.
Which tools are compatible with the 3M 7010515243?
The single-flex design fits common benchtop and portable belt grinders and integrates into workflows that also use a 60 grit sanding disc or 60 grit grinding wheel.
