3M 7010517420 | 984F x 80+ Grit x 24.000" OAL Precision Shaped Ceramic Cloth Belt

Description

The 3M 7010517420 cubitron 984F II ceramic belt is made for consistent 80+ grit finishing in demanding metalworking applications. With a 24.0" OAL and a 4.0" width, this belt provides a wide contact area for consistent surface results on panels and medium-sized parts. Precision-shaped ceramic grain constantly renews cutting points, resulting in a dependable cut-to-finish balance that reduces process steps. The 3M 984F has a YF-weight polyester cloth backing and provides dimensional stability for medium/high-pressure grinding and polishing cycles.
The Fabri-Lok splice creates a low-profile, long-lasting seam that improves tracking and minimizes downtime in continuous or automated operations. During long runs, the closed-coat construction and engineered cool-running formulation reduce loading and metal discoloration.
This 3M cubitron 984F II ceramic belt is a strong industrial alternative to a 3M 80 grit sanding disc for consistent production results. It is ideal for grinding, polishing, deburring, finishing, and surface preparation, allowing for tighter tolerances and repeatable part quality. Operators benefit from longer parts-per-belt life and fewer changeouts, which boosts throughput and lowers abrasive costs per part.
Choose the 3M 7010517420 when you need stable, cool-running 80 grit performance with industrial splice and backing reliability.

Product Features and Benefits

Narrow 24" x 4" Production Width

The 4.0" belt width on the 3M 7010517420 provides ample coverage for medium panels while keeping control for detail work, ideal when replacing a 3M 80 grit sanding disc in production.

Precision Cut-to-Finish Grain

Precision-shaped ceramic grain fractures to expose new sharp points, delivering fast material removal with a refined finish suitable for 80+ grit finishing sequences.

Fabri-Lok Low-Profile Splice

The Fabri-Lok splice offers a robust, low-height seam that improves belt tracking and reduces seam marking in automated and bench applications using this 3M cubitron 984F ii ceramic belt.

YF-Weight Polyester Cloth Durability

YF backing supplies excellent tensile strength and resistance to tearing under medium/high-pressure operations, extending belt life versus conventional abrasives.

Cool-Running, Closed-Coat Design

Closed-coat abrasive layout plus cool-running formulation reduce loading and metal discoloration for consistent surface outcomes compared to standard 80 grit grinding disc options.

Frequently Asked Questions

Which tasks is the 3M 7010517420 best suited for?

Use the 3M 7010517420 for grinding, polishing, surface preparation and finishing where stable 80+ grit sanding disc performance is required.

How does this belt compare to a 3M 80 grit sanding disc?

Compared to a general sanding disc, the 3M cubitron 984F ii ceramic belt offers longer life, cooler operation and more consistent finishes in continuous belt form.

What is 80 grit used for in industrial workflows?

In production, 80 grit (80+) is used for intermediate stock removal and surface blending before finer grits; this belt provides that capability with better heat control.

Will the Fabri-Lok splice work well in automated systems?

Yes, the Fabri-Lok splice on the 3M 984F ensures a low-profile, durable seam that reduces downtime and improves tracking in robotic and continuous setups.

Can this belt replace an 80 grit grinding disc on small- to medium-sized parts?

Yes, this ceramic belt delivers equivalent 80 grit grinding disc aggressiveness while offering improved parts-per-belt economics and cooler running for delicate alloys.
