3M 7100010398 | 984F x 60+ Grit x 132.000" OAL Precision Shaped Ceramic Cloth Belt

Description

The 3M 7100010398 is a high-performance 3M cubitron 984F II ceramic belt made for heavy metalworking applications. This belt, measuring 3.0" x 132.0", provides consistent material removal for centreless and cylindrical grinding machines. When compared to conventional abrasives, precision-shaped ceramic grains provide a faster cut rate, a longer life, and a more predictable finish. It is made of YF-weight polyester cloth with a closed-coat construction that resists stretch while providing maximum abrasive coverage. The Film-Lok splice provides a smooth, dependable joint for long continuous runs in both automated and manual finishing processes. The 3M 984F, rated 60+ grit, outperforms a standard 60 grit sanding disc in terms of cut speed and belt life for production applications. Deburring, polishing, surface preparation, and finishing can be done wet or dry on carbon steel and cobalt-nickel substrates. The belt's single-flex design strikes a balance between conformity and strength, making it ideal for backstands, manual grinding, and robotic cells. It is colour-coded maroon and designed for thermal control to reduce heat buildup and protect the workpiece temper during aggressive grinding. Choose the 3M 7100010398 Cubitron II 984F belt to increase productivity, reduce downtime, and achieve consistent surface finishes.
