3M 7010516938 | 984F x 36+ Grit x 107.000" OAL Precision Shaped Ceramic Cloth Belt

Description

The 3M 7010516938 Cubitron II 984F is a wide-format, industrial abrasive belt engineered for high-capacity metalworking where throughput and finish consistency matter. At 9.0" × 107.0", this 3M cubitron 984F ceramic belt offers an expansive contact area that speeds material removal while reducing the number of belt changes. Precision-shaped ceramic grains deliver aggressive cutting action and predictable wear behavior, giving performance comparable to a 36 grit sanding disc with improved edge life. Built on a YF-weight polyester cloth backing, the belt resists stretch and tearing under heavy loads typically encountered in production grinding and deburring. Closed-coat abrasive application ensures dense grain coverage for steady cutting, helping maintain consistent surface profiles during long runs. The Film-Lok splice provides a smooth transition at the joint to prevent snags and keep belt tracking stable in conveyor or wide-belt fixtures. Single-flex design keeps the belt conforming enough for accurate contact while minimizing vibration on large parts and platen-based grinders. Ideal for carbon steel work, the 3M 7010516938 also handles robust blending and polishing duties where a 36 grit grinding disc would normally be used. This belt performs in wet or dry operations and is suited to applications, namely heavy stock removal, weld blending and initial surface prep. Choose this 3M Cubitron II 984F when you need a durable, high-capacity 36+ grit solution that balances speed, life and finish quality.

Product Features and Benefits

Wide 9" Cutting Face

The broad 9.0" width increases contact area for higher throughput, reducing changeovers when replacing a 36 grit sanding disc in production lines.

Precision-Shaped Ceramic Geometry

Engineered ceramic grains fracture to expose fresh cutting points, delivering sustained removal rates comparable to 36 grit 3M cubitron media.

YF-Weight Reinforced Backing

Heavy-duty polyester cloth backing improves tear resistance and dimensional stability for demanding grinding and deburring cycles.

Closed-Coat, High-Density Abrasive

Dense grain packing maximizes cut-per-pass and reduces glazing, making the belt an efficient alternative to a 36 grit grinding disc.

Smooth Film-Lok Splice

Robust Film-Lok joint ensures reliable seam strength and smooth tracking to minimize downtime in wide-belt and platen applications.

Frequently Asked Questions

What applications suit the 3M 7010516938 best?

Use this 3M 7010516938 belt for heavy stock removal, weld blending and initial surface preparation where a 36 grit sanding disc is typically applied.

How does the wide 9" format affect performance?

The wider contact area increases material removal per pass and extends run time between belt changes compared with narrower belts.

Is this belt appropriate for both wet and dry use?

Yes, the 3M cubitron 984F II ceramic belt is rated for wet or dry operations to suit different shop processes and heat control needs.

Can the 3M 7010516938 replace a 3M 36 grit roloc disc?

In many production fixtures and platen machines it can serve as a high-performance 36 grit equivalent, though form factor and tooling must match the application.

What is 36 grit sandpaper used for in metalwork?

36 grit is used for robust material removal, shaping and initial weld blending;this 36+ grit Cubitron belt is designed to perform efficiently.
