3M 7010516247 | 984F x 80+ Grit x 96.000" OAL Precision Shaped Ceramic Cloth Belt

Description

The 3M 7010516247 is a production-grade 3M cubitron 984F II ceramic belt made for consistent finishing across stainless and carbon steels. At 80+ grit, this belt balances controlled material removal with a fine surface finish suitable for polishing and light grinding. Its precision-shaped ceramic abrasive maintains cutting geometry to extend life and reduce belt changes in high-volume operations. Sized at 96.0" overall length and 2.0" width on a YF-weight polyester cloth backing, the belt is robust for both benchtop and conveyor belt systems. Closed-coat construction increases abrasive coverage, delivering repeatable stock removal and uniform surface preparation results. Single-flex design allows conformity to slight contours while retaining stability on flat surfaces for deburring and finishing tasks. A Film-Lok splice provides a low-profile, durable joint that improves run-time reliability on automated grinding lines. Choose the 3M 7010516247 when you require production efficiency, predictable finishes and lower consumable costs compared with generic 80 grit sanding disc solutions. This 3M cubitron 80 grit belt is ideal for finishing, surface preparation, polishing and precision deburring in fabrication shops. The combination of precision-shaped ceramic grain and YF backing makes the 3M 7010516247 a dependable option for repeatable industrial results.

Product Features and Benefits

Precision-Shaped Ceramic Grain

The 3M 7010516247 employs precision-shaped ceramic abrasives to remain sharp and provide a superior cut rate compared with standard 80 grit sanding disc consumables.

96.0" Overall Length on YF Cloth Backing

The long 96.0" OAL and YF-weight polyester cloth backing deliver tear resistance and stability for continuous finishing runs using the 3M cubitron 984F II ceramic belt.

Closed-Coat for Consistent Coverage

Closed-coat configuration on this 3M 7010516247 ensures maximum abrasive coverage for uniform surface preparation and predictable finishing outcomes.

Single-Flex Versatility

Single-flex construction balances conformability and strength, so the 3M cubitron 80 grit belt performs well on both flat surfaces and mild contours.

Film-Lok Splice Reliability

The Film-Lok splice provides a low-profile, durable joint that reduces downtime and improves uptime compared with lesser-belting solutions.

Frequently Asked Questions

What materials is the 3M 7010516247 best suited for?

The 3M 7010516247 is optimized for stainless steel, carbon steel and common engineering alloys for finishing, polishing and light grinding operations.

How does the 3M cubitron 80 grit compare to an 80 grit sanding disc?

The 80 grit 3M cubitron belt uses precision-shaped ceramic grains to deliver longer life and steadier cut rates than conventional 80 grit sanding disc media.

Is the 96.0" OAL suitable for automated belt lines?

Yes, the 96.0" overall length and Film-Lok splice make the 3M 984F compatible with many automated conveyors and large bench grinders.

How durable is the YF-weight polyester cloth backing?

The YF-weight backing on the 3M 7010516247 gives high tensile strength and resistance to tearing under medium to high contact pressures.

What is 80 grit sandpaper used for?

The 80-grit sandpaper is generally used for medium material removal and surface blending; the 3M 7010516247 brings that capability to belt systems with improved life.
