3M 7100020234 | 984F x 60+ Grit x 18.000" OAL Precision Shaped Ceramic Cloth Belt

Description

The 3M 7100020234 Cubitron 984F II ceramic belt is a small, precise abrasive made for difficult metalworking tasks on aluminum and titanium. This single-flex, YF-weight polyester cloth belt measures 0.75" × 18.0" and balances aggressive stock removal with controlled finish in tight, hand-held and bench applications. Its precision-shaped ceramic grains maintain sharp cutting points, reducing loading and extending belt life when compared to traditional abrasives. Closed-coat construction ensures consistent cutting performance and predictable wear rates in manufacturing and repair facilities. The Fabri-Lok splice forms a strong, low-profile joint that can withstand continuous use on manual backstands and file belt sanders. The maroon 984F belt can be used wet or dry and is suitable for polishing, deburring, surface preparation, and light grinding. This 60+ grit belt improves material removal and produces smoother finishes than a general 60 grit sanding disc.
The compact format is ideal for applications where larger belts are impractical, but performance comparable to 3M 60 grit sandpaper is still required. The 3M cubitron 984F ceramic belt is made to resist glazing and heat buildup while maintaining a consistent cutting action throughout its life. The 3M 7100020234 is ideal for small-format sanding operations that require precise, repeatable finishing and faster throughput.

Product Features and Benefits

Precision-Shaped Ceramic Grain

Self-sharpening ceramic particles deliver faster material removal and longer life than traditional 60 grit sanding disc alternatives.

0.75" × 18" Compact Format

Small single-flex size fits manual backstand and file belt sanders for targeted finishing where a 60 grit grinding wheel is too large.

YF-Weight Polyester Cloth Backing

Durable cloth backing offers tear resistance and dimensional stability during aggressive deburring and surface preparation on aluminum.

Closed-Coat, Wet or Dry Use

High abrasive coverage and wet/dry capability reduce loading and broaden application options compared with standard 60 grit sandpaper.

Fabri-Lok Splice for Reliability

The 3M cubitron 984F ceramic belt is low-profile and has a strong splice, which reduces seam failures and downtime during repetitive finishing cycles on production benches.

Frequently Asked Questions
