3M 7010516977 | 984F x 80+ Grit x 48.000" OAL Precision Shaped Ceramic Cloth Belt

Description

The 3M 7010516977 Cubitron II 984F ceramic belt is made for efficient deburring, controlled grinding and consistent finishing in production shops. This 6.0" x 48.0" belt uses precision-shaped ceramic grains that maintain cutting performance and deliver uniform surface condition on carbon steel. As a purpose-built 3M cubitron 984F II ceramic belt, it blends fast stock removal with a finish comparable to an 80 grit sanding disc. Built on a YF-weight polyester cloth backing, the belt provides excellent tear resistance and dimensional stability for bench and machine use. Closed-coat construction concentrates abrasive coverage for predictable cut rates and extended usable life during repetitive operations. The Film-Lok splice creates a smooth, durable joint that reduces interruptions in high-throughput sanding and finishing cycles. Single-flex construction allows this 80 grit 3M cubitron belt to conform to contours while maintaining consistent contact and finish quality. Designed for wet or dry use, the 3M 984F belt helps control heat buildup for improved part integrity during long runs. Ideal for surface preparation, polishing and final-stage finishing in metalworking. Choose the 3M 7010516977 when you need a reliable, high-performance 80+ grit abrasive for everyday shop productivity and consistent results.
