Description
The 3M 7010516168 Cubitron II 984F Ceramic Belt is made for operators who demand aggressive performance and extended belt life. With precision-shaped ceramic grain technology, this 60+ grit belt cuts faster and lasts longer than traditional abrasives while maintaining a consistent finish throughout its lifespan. Its 0.75-inch width and 34-inch length make it ideal for narrow belt applications such as detail grinding, edge finishing, or surface prep in tight areas. The YF-weight polyester cloth backing ensures strength and flexibility, while the Fabri-Lok splice provides smooth, vibration-free operation. Perfect for applications like deburring, metal finishing, and blending welds, this 3M cubitron 984F II ceramic belt offers a balance of fast material removal and a controlled surface finish, comparable to the results of a 60 grit sanding disc or 60 grit grinding wheel. Whether you’re working on stainless steel, carbon steel, or aluminum, the 3M 7010516168 belt delivers precision, durability, and efficiency for consistent industrial performance.
