3M 7010516276 | 984F x 80+ Grit x 30.000" OAL Precision Shaped Ceramic Cloth Belt

Description

The 3M 7010516276 is a production-grade 984F Cubitron II ceramic cloth belt made for efficient surface preparation and finishing. At 30.0” overall length and 2.0” width, this 80+ grit belt balances aggressive material removal with a controlled finish ideal for stainless steel and carbon steel work. The Precision-shaped ceramic grains provide rapid stock removal and predictable wear, delivering lower cost-per-part in high-volume grinding operations. Constructed on a YF-weight polyester cloth backing, the belt resists stretching and maintains tracking under continuous single-flex use. Closed-coat construction concentrates abrasive coverage for extended life and consistent cut when compared to traditional abrasives. A Fabri-Lok splice creates a smooth, durable joint designed for automated finishing systems and manual belt applications alike. Integrated heat-mitigating additives reduce thermal transfer to the workpiece, protecting sensitive alloys during high-pressure grinding. The red color family and 984F product composition makes the 3M 7010516276 easy to identify in tool rooms and inventory. Use this 3M cubitron 984F II ceramic belt for grinding, deburring, polishing, blending and surface prep where repeatable results are required. Overall, the 3M 7010516276 combines the performance of a 3M cubitron 80 grit abrasive with robust construction to lower downtime and improve throughput.

Product Features and Benefits

Precision Shaped Ceramic Grain

3M 7010516276 uses precision-shaped ceramic grains to deliver rapid stock removal and consistently sharp cutting action versus conventional belts.

80+ Grit, Balanced Cut & Finish

The 80+ grit specification offers an optimal balance between aggressive material removal and surface finish for many production tasks, similar to an 80-grit sanding disc.

30.0" × 2.0" YF-Weight Polyester Backing

The robust backing gives dimensional stability and reliable tracking in single-flex applications for automated and manual finishing systems.

Closed-Coat Abrasive Layout

High abrasive coverage increases cutting life and provides predictable wear characteristics for the 3M cubitron 984F II ceramic belt in heavy-duty use.

Fabri-Lok Splice for Continuous Use

Durable Fabri-Lok splice reduces splice failures and ensures smooth transitions in continuous runs, improving uptime on production lines.

Frequently Asked Questions

What is 80 grit sandpaper used for?

The 80-grit sandpaper and the 3M 7010516276 80+ grit belt are used for moderate-to-aggressive material removal, shaping, deburring and preparing surfaces for finer finishing.

Which applications suit the 3M 7010516276?

The 3M 7010516276 is suitable for surface preparation, grinding, polishing, deburring and finishing on stainless and carbon steels.

What backing and flex type does this belt have?

This belt uses a YF-weight polyester cloth backing with single-flex construction to withstand continuous use in narrow-arc and flat finishing setups.

How does the Fabri-Lok splice benefit production environments?

The Fabri-Lok splice on the 3M 7010516276 creates a strong, smooth joint that minimizes downtime in automated finishing equipment.

Can this belt replace a 3M 80 grit sanding disc in some jobs?

Yes, in many metalworking tasks the 3M cubitron 80 grit belt offers a comparable cut to a 3M 80 grit sanding disc with improved conformability and lower heat transfer.
