3M 7010515308 | 984F x 50+ Grit x 42.000" OAL Precision Shaped Ceramic Cloth Belt

Description

The 3M 7010515308 belt delivers a professional 50+ grit option in the Cubitron II 984F line for demanding metal prep and finishing. With a 1.0" width and 42.0" overall length, it fits a broad range of file belt tools, manual sanders, and some bench or robotic systems where precise, wide‑format belts are required. Precision‑shaped ceramic grains cut aggressively yet remain sharp over a long service life, helping reduce downtime and belt changes in heavy grinding and surface prep. Built on a YF‑weight polyester cloth backing, the belt offers strength, tear resistance, and stable tracking under medium to high pressure work. Closed‑coat abrasive coverage maximizes cutting area for uniform performance on stainless steel, carbon steel, aluminum, and mixed metals. The Film‑Lok splice gives a sturdy, low‑profile joint that minimizes snags during continuous runs or automated handling. Single‑flex design allows the belt to conform to tool angles and workpiece contours without sacrificing stability, useful in polishing and deburring smaller edges. Compared to typical 50 grit sanding belt or 50 grit metal sanding disc options, this belt focuses on faster cuts, better life, and cleaner finish control in production environments. Independent reseller feedback for 984F belts reports quick cutting and long life, reinforcing the practical benefits of Cubitron II technology in real use. Use the 3M 7010515308 for finishing, grinding, surface preparation, polishing, and deburring when professional, repeatable results are critical.

Product Features and Benefits

Precision‑Shaped Ceramic Grain

The cutting mineral continuously fractures to form sharp edges, sustaining aggressive removal for heavy grinding and surface prep with the 3M 7010515308 belt.

50+ Grit For Balanced Cut And Finish

Offers a strong removal rate similar to coarse belts but leaves a more controllable finish than very coarse alternatives, ideal when a 50 grit roloc disc or sanding belt is used.

YF‑Weight Polyester Cloth Backing

Provides durable, stable support for the 1.0 x 42 in belt during high‑pressure work on stainless steel, carbon steel, aluminum, or mixed metals.

Film‑Lok Splice reliability

Low‑profile, robust splice reduces downtime and the chance of catching during continuous or automated belt runs.

Closed‑Coat abrasive coverage

Maximizes abrasive contact area to keep cutting consistent across the belt, helping maintain performance in polishing, finishing and deburring tasks.
