3M 7010515586 | 984F x 36+ Grit x 18.938" OAL Precision Shaped Ceramic Cloth Belt

Description

The 3M 7010515586 Cubitron II 984F ceramic belt is a high-performance abrasive made for precise metalworking applications. This 3.0" x 18.938" belt has precision-shaped ceramic grains that constantly expose new cutting points for long-lasting removal, similar to a 36 grit sanding disc. The belt, which is supported by a YF-weight polyester cloth backing, strikes a balance between flexibility and strength to ensure consistent contact in benchtop motors and manual back stands. The belt's closed-coat design and 36+ grit formulation provide aggressive stock removal while maintaining control over the finish for subsequent polishing or blending. The Fabri-Lok splice creates a durable, fabric-sealed joint that resists peeling and tearing in both intermittent and continuous cycles. This 3M cubitron 984F II ceramic belt is suitable for both wet and dry use and works well on carbon steel and many high-strength substrates during deburring and surface preparation. The belt's single-flex construction allows it to conform to the contours of the part, resulting in uniform finishing and less chatter on small-diameter work. Operators will appreciate the reduced glazing and cooler operation under load, which will increase belt life and lower consumable costs per part. In tight or confined tooling setups, this compact 36+ grit belt is an effective replacement for a 36 grit grinding disc or a 3M 36 grit roloc disc. When you need a small-format, long-lasting abrasive that combines fast cut rates and precise finish control, choose the 3M 7010515586.

Product Features and Benefits

Precision-Shaped Ceramic Grain

Precision grains self-sharpen for rapid, continuous stock removal, delivering performance comparable to a 36 grit sanding disc on carbon steel.

Compact 3" x 18.938" Production Format

Small-format belt fits benchtop motors and confined fixtures while providing an efficient contact area for repeatable results with this 3M cubitron 984F II ceramic belt.

YF-Weight Polyester Backing

Robust cloth backing improves tear resistance and dimensional stability, enabling consistent grinding and deburring under pressure.

Closed-Coat Aggressive Cut

Dense abrasive coverage maximizes cutting action for fast material removal, making this belt an effective 36+ grit grinding disc alternative.

Fabri-Lok Splice for Durable Joints

Fabric-sealed The Fabri-Lok splice reduces the risk of edge separation and increases service life in intermittent, manual, or automated use.

Frequently Asked Questions

What is the primary use of the 3M 7010515586 belt?

The 3M 7010515586 is made for aggressive stock removal, deburring and surface preparation on carbon steel and similar substrates, like a 36 grit sanding disc.

Can the 3M 7010515586 be used wet or dry?

Yes, this 36+ grit 984F belt is suitable for both wet and dry applications to suit polishing, grinding, and finishing workflows.

What machines are compatible with this 3" x 18.938" belt?

The compact format works well with bench-top motors, manual backstands and small fixtures where a 3M cubitron 984F II ceramic belt is required.

How does the Fabri-Lok splice benefit the belt?

The Fabri-Lok splice provides a strong, fabric-reinforced joint that resists separation and improves reliability during continuous or high-strain cycles.

What is 36 grit sandpaper used for in metalworking?

36-grit abrasives, such as the 3M 7010515586, are used for heavy stock removal, weld blending and initial shaping before finer finishing stages.
