3M 7010517421 | 984F x 36+ Grit x 24.000" OAL Precision Shaped Ceramic Cloth Belt

Description

The 3M 7010517421 Cubitron 984F II ceramic belt is a high-performance abrasive made for demanding metalworking and finishing applications. This 36+ grit belt provides the aggressive cut required for rapid stock removal while also allowing for precise surface preparation and polishing. Precision-shaped ceramic grains constantly fracture to reveal sharp new cutting points, extending life and maintaining consistent cut rates. The single-flex design, measuring 24" overall length and 1.5" width, is suitable for narrow fixtures and hand tools used for detailed grinding and deburring. The YF-weight polyester cloth backing provides dimensional stability under pressure while resisting stretching, allowing for precise belt tracking. The closed-coat construction increases abrasive coverage for a consistent bite, making it a high-performance 36-grit sanding disc alternative. The Fabri-Lok splice provides a strong joint that can withstand repeated starts and stops in production while lowering the risk of splice failure. The 3M 7010517421 is suitable for surface preparation, blending weld seams, heavy deburring, and initial shaping where a 36 grit grinding disc is required. This 36 grit 3M cubitron belt works well for aggressive material removal and initial finishing. This Cubitron 984F II belt provides the durability and cut rate that professionals rely on for consistent results in stainless and carbon steel applications.

Product Features and Benefits

High-cut ceramic grains

The precision-shaped ceramic abrasives fracture into fresh edges throughout use, enabling the belt to cut rapidly like a 36 grit sanding disc while maintaining finish control.

Optimized for narrow-width belts

The 1.5" width and 24" length allow this 3M cubitron 984F II ceramic belt to be used in confined spaces and on small fixtures where a 36 grit grinding disc cannot reach.

Thermally stable YF-cloth backing

The YF-weight polyester cloth offers dimensional stability and heat resistance during intensive stock-removal and surface-preparation operations.

Reliable Fabri-Lok splice construction

The fabric splice design supports a strong, smooth joint that reduces belt failures in repetitive or automated workflows.

Closed-coat design for uniform cut and finish

High abrasive loading and closed-coat formation help deliver consistent finishes and predictable results when using this 36 grit 3M cubitron belt in production.

Frequently Asked Questions

What is the primary purpose of the 3M 7010517421?

The 3M 7010517421 is made for aggressive grinding, surface preparation and initial finishing where a 36 grit sanding disc performance is required.

Will this belt replace a 36 grit grinding disc in my workflow?

Yes, the 36+ grit Cubitron 984F II belt offers similar stock removal and is especially useful where a continuous belt format is preferred.

Is the 1.5" width suitable for precision deburring?

Absolutely, the narrow width allows access to tight joints and contours for precise deburring and polishing tasks.

How durable is the Fabri-Lok splice during high-load use?

The Fabri-Lok splice on this 3M 7010517421 is made for robust joint strength, tolerating repeated cycles and reducing splice-related downtime.

What kinds of metals should I use this 36 grit 3M cubitron belt on?

It’s optimized for carbon steel, stainless steel and common alloy substrates when aggressive material removal and consistent surface prep are needed.
