3M 7010515870 | 984F x 36+ Grit x 72.000" OAL Precision Shaped Ceramic Cloth Belt

Description

The 3M 7010515870 Cubitron II 984F ceramic belt is a 3.0" x 72.0" precision-shaped ceramic cloth belt engineered for heavy-duty metalworking applications. This 3M 984F II ceramic belt uses Precision Shaped Ceramic grains for rapid stock removal and consistent surface finishes on stainless and carbon steels. With a 36+ grit rating, the belt provides aggressive cutting power similar to a 36 grit grinding disc while maintaining controlled finish quality. The YF-weight polyester cloth backing delivers excellent strength and longevity under medium- to high-pressure operations. A closed-coat design maximizes abrasive coverage and extends belt life during grinding, deburring, polishing, and surface preparation tasks. The Film-Lok splice and single-flex construction ensure reliable joints and flexibility for use on a wide range of portable and stationary finishing equipment. Built-in grinding aids reduce heat buildup and help protect sensitive alloys during continuous use in industrial environments. Color-coded red backing makes inventory identification fast and easy for busy workshops using multiple grit belts. Users choose the 3M 7010515870 for its combination of durability, speed, and predictable performance compared with standard 36 grit sanding disc alternatives. Install this 3M cubitron 984F II ceramic belt to improve throughput, reduce changeovers, and achieve consistent results on demanding metal applications.
