The 3M 7010516486 Cubitron 984F II Ceramic Belt is the pinnacle of aggressive material removal, using the coarsest grit available to maximize cutting power. This belt, measuring 3.0" x 160.0" and featuring an extremely coarse 36 grit sanding disc equivalent, is designed for the most severe grinding applications, such as heavy weld removal and primary stock shaping. The defining feature is 3M's Precision Shaped Ceramic grain, which keeps an aggressive cutting face throughout the belt's exceptional lifespan, significantly reducing the need for frequent replacement, which is a common problem with a standard 3M 36 grit grinding disc. The strong YF-Weight polyester cloth backing provides the necessary support for the high tensions and forces encountered during heavy grinding, especially when using fixed-base or automated machines. This 3M cubitron 984F ii ceramic belt has an integrated grinding aid to reduce thermal damage and discoloration of heat-sensitive alloys such as stainless steel and cobalt chrome. Its long 160.0 inch length and dependable Film-Lok splice ensure long-term performance. For professionals wondering why they should use 36 grit sandpaper in industrial settings, the answer is to remove material as quickly and deeply as possible, a task where this belt outperforms any smaller roloc disc.
