3M 7010516549 | 984F x 120+ Grit x 24.000" OAL Precision Shaped Ceramic Cloth Belt

Description

The 3M 7010516549 Cubitron II 984F ceramic belt is built for precision surface preparation and consistent finishing in production environments. At 24.000" overall length and a slim 0.25" width, this belt fits narrow tooling and profile applications with minimal setup changes. Precision Shaped Ceramic grains provide predictable, self-sharpening cutting action that delivers fast material removal and a controlled finish. Constructed on a YF-weight polyester cloth backing, the single-flex design balances durability with the ability to conform to contoured workpieces. Closed-coat abrasive placement maximizes cut rate and maintains consistent performance through prolonged deburring and polishing cycles. The Fabri-Lok splice forms a smooth, reliable joint that reduces downtime and performs well in continuous automated sanding systems. Designed for tasks from grinding and polishing to final finishing, the 3M 7010516549 replaces traditional 120 grit 3M cubitron discs in many setups. Its narrow profile is ideal for precision edge work, seam blending and in-line finishing where 120 grit 3M roloc discs were previously used. Use this 984F ceramic belt for stainless steel, carbon steel and exotic alloys to improve throughput and reduce belt changes on the line. Specifically engineered to extend life and stability, the 3M cubitron 984F II ceramic belt delivers consistent results across repetitive production cycles.

Product Features and Benefits

Self-Sharpening Precision-Shaped Ceramic Grains

The 3M 7010516549 uses precision grains that fracture to stay sharp, enabling faster stock removal than standard 120 grit 3M cubitron alternatives.

Ultra-Narrow 0.25" Width for Detail Work

The 0.25" wide belt excels in tight profile grinding and edge finishing where wider 120 grit 3M roloc sanding discs cannot access.

YF-Weight Polyester Cloth Backing

Robust YF backing supports the narrow 24" belt during continuous polishing and deburring, improving service life over conventional belts.

Closed-Coat for Consistent Cutting

High abrasive coverage maintains reliable cutting action and finish control across extended runs compared to open-coat abrasives.

Fabri-Lok Splice for Seam Reliability

The Fabri-Lok splice reduces joint failures and vibration in automated systems, keeping the 3M cubitron 984F II ceramic belt running smoothly.

Frequently Asked Questions

What sizes does the 3M 7010516549 belt come in?

This SKU is specified as a 24.000" OAL by 0.25" width belt, suitable for narrow-profile finishing tools and fixtures.

Can the 3M 7010516549 replace 120 grit 3M cubitron discs?

Yes, in many profiling and in-line finishing applications the 984F belt offers similar or better finish control than 3M cubitron 120 grit discs.

Is this belt suitable for automated finishing lines?

Absolutely, the Fabri-Lok splice and YF-weight polyester backing make it reliable for continuous automated sanding and polishing systems.

What applications are best for this 0.25" wide belt?

Use the 3M 7010516549 for seam blending, narrow-edge deburring, precision grinding and polishing on stainless and carbon steels.

How does this compare to 3M roloc sanding discs 120 grit?

For tight-profile work the narrow 984F belt often outperforms 120 grit 3M roloc discs by reaching confined areas and reducing setup changes.
