3M 7010515926 | 984F x 36+ Grit x 24.000" OAL Precision Shaped Ceramic Cloth Belt

Description

The 3M 7010515926 is a compact, high-performance abrasive belt in the 984F series, sized at 4.0" width × 24.0" length. This narrow-format belt uses precision-shaped ceramic grain technology to deliver aggressive material removal for metalworking tasks. It is a prime alternative to a 36 grit sanding disc or 36 grit grinding disc, designed for rapid stock removal, deburring and surface preparation operations. Built on a YF-weight polyester cloth backing, the belt offers durable strength, resistance to tearing and dimensional stability, even in tight or confined tool setups. Closed-coat construction ensures high abrasive coverage and sustained cutting action over the belt’s life. The Fabri-Lok splice enhances joint strength and smooth tracking for short-run or fixture-based grinding tasks. Single-flex construction makes the belt well-suited for contour following and consistent contact on small workpieces. Operators benefit from lower heat generation and reduced glazing, thanks to the precision-shaped ceramic grain maintaining sharp cutting edges. Ideal for polishing, finishing and surface blending, the 3M Cubitron II 984F 36+ grit ceramic belt meets the question in demanding metal fabrication contexts. With this 3M cubitron 36 grit-equivalent belt, you get a reliable, compact format that extends tool compatibility and improves throughput in tight spaces.

Product Features and Benefits

Precision-Shaped Ceramic Grain Technology

The abrasive grain continuously fractures to form new cutting edges, enabling the belt to maintain high removal rates comparable to a 36 grit sanding disc while producing a better part finish.

Narrow 4" × 24" Format for Fixture and Bench Use

The compact size allows placement in narrow tooling fixtures or portable grinders, delivering the performance of a 36 grit grinding disc in tighter spaces.

YF-Weight Polyester Cloth Backing

Provides enhanced strength and dimensional stability under high loading, ensuring the belt holds up during aggressive finishing and heavy-use cycles.

Closed-Coat Construction for Maximum Abrasive Exposure

The dense abrasive layer maximizes the number of cutting points in contact with the workpiece, offering efficient material removal and fewer belt swaps.

Fabri-Lok Splice for Robust Joint Integrity

The fabric splice construction offers strong seam performance in short-length belts, minimizing splice failure and improving run-time reliability.

Frequently Asked Questions

Is the 3M 7010515926 suitable for polishing and finishing work?

Yes, the belt’s precision ceramic grain offers sufficient control and finish quality for polishing and surface blending after heavy removal work.

What kind of substrates can this belt be used on?

The belt is optimized for carbon steel and similar ferrous substrates, where a 36 grit sanding disc would normally be used for heavy removal.

Does the narrow-format belt reduce compatibility issues in constrained tool setups?

Absolutely, its 4" width and 24" length make it ideal for smaller machines and fixturing environments compared to standard larger belts.

Can it replace a 36 grit 3M cubitron roloc disc in production use?

In many cases, yes, though the belt form factor differs from a disc; in appropriate tooling setups, the 7010515926 functions as a high-cut, 36 grit equivalent solution.

What is 36 grit sandpaper used for?

This belt embodies the heavy-cut, initial-surface-prep role of 36 grit abrasives, removing weld beads, bulk grinding and setting up surfaces for finer finishing stages.
