3M 7010516420 | 984F x 120+ Grit x 60.000" OAL Precision Shaped Ceramic Cloth Belt

Description

The 3M 7010516420 Cubitron II 984F ceramic belt is crafted for professionals seeking a smooth, controlled finish with exceptional efficiency. Designed at 60" OAL × 1.5" width, this belt delivers high-precision finishing on stainless steel, mild steel, and non-ferrous metals while maintaining consistent performance across production runs. Its precision-shaped ceramic grain fractures cleanly during use, ensuring continuous sharp cutting action for uniform surface results. Compared to traditional 120 grit 3M roloc sanding discs, this belt provides a longer lifespan, cooler operation, and superior edge durability. The YF-weight polyester backing offers flexibility with robust tear resistance, making it perfect for applications like deburring, fine grinding, surface preparation, and polishing. A closed-coat construction maximizes abrasive density for controlled material removal, while the Film-Lok splice ensures vibration-free operation even in high-speed setups. With its single-flex design, the 3M 7010516420 adapts easily to contoured or flat surfaces, offering craftsmen the finish quality expected from the renowned 3M cubitron 984F II ceramic belt line.
