3M 7010515251 | 984F x 80+ Grit x 90.000" OAL Precision Shaped Ceramic Cloth Belt

Description

The 3M 7010515251 Cubitron 984F II ceramic belt is made for dependable, medium-cut metalworking where finish control is critical. This 2.00" × 90.0" single-flex belt features Precision Shaped Ceramic grain and a YF-weight polyester cloth backing for reliable performance. The belt, rated 80+ grit, strikes a balance between material removal and surface refinement, making it an excellent alternative to an 80 grit sanding disc. The closed-coat construction increases abrasive coverage, ensuring that each pass is effective throughout the belt's life without the need for frequent dressing. The Film-Lok splice is a low-profile, high-strength joint that helps bench machines and manual backstands run more efficiently. This 3M 984F ceramic belt is ideal for grinding, polishing, deburring, and surface preparation on both ferrous and nonferrous metals. Its controlled cut and reduced glazing help to maintain part geometry while producing finishes similar to a 3M 80 grit sanding disc. The compact 90-inch OAL shortens changeovers in medium-run operations and is ideal for file belt sanders and backstand applications. The 3M 7010515251 is made to withstand clogging and heat buildup, ensuring consistent cutting during polishing and finishing steps. This 80 grit 3M cubitron belt is ideal for production and repair workflows that require predictable removal rates and repeatable finishes.

Product Features and Benefits

Precision-Shaped Ceramic Grain

Self-sharpening ceramic particles on the 3M 7010515251 deliver fast, consistent cutting, superior to conventional 80 grit sanding disc alternatives.

Balanced 80+ Grit for Finish Control

Provides the right compromise between removal rate and surface quality for finishing and polishing compared to coarse grinding media.

Durable YF-Weight Polyester Backing

Robust cloth backing improves tear resistance and reliable tracking in manual backstand and file belt sander applications.

Closed-Coat Coverage with Film-Lok Splice

High abrasive density plus a low-profile Film-Lok splice ensure long life and seam reliability during continuous use.

Versatile Single-Flex Design

The 2.00" × 90.0" format conforms to contours for deburring and surface prep where a 80 grit 3M cubitron belt is preferred over discs.

Frequently Asked Questions
