The 3M 7100096388 Cubitron II 984F ceramic belt is a large-format abrasive made for tough titanium and zirconium applications. This continuous belt, measuring 27.563" × 126", provides balanced cut and finish control similar to an 80 grit sanding disc. Precision Shaped. Ceramic grain technology keeps cutting points sharp for consistent results during heavy-duty finishing and polishing. The belt, which is made with a YF-weight polyester cloth backing, is resistant to stretch and heat while providing stable tracking on wide-belt sanders. Closed-coat abrasive loading ensures a consistent bite and surface quality across high-value titanium components. The Film-Lok splice creates a low-profile, long-lasting joint that reduces vibration and increases uptime on centerless and wide-belt machines. This 80 grit 3M cubitron belt, designed for use on titanium/zirconium, is excellent for blending, edge finishing, and intermediate sanding. Pressure-assist backstands, centerless grinders, manual backstands, and wide belt sanders are all compatible with production equipment. Compared to a 3M 80 grit sanding disc, the belt form allows for longer run times, fewer changeovers, and better process consistency. When working with titanium substrates in high-throughput environments, the 3M 7100096388 is the go-to 80 grit sanding solution.
Wide 27.563" Format for High Throughput
The expansive width and 126" OAL maximize coverage and reduce changeovers, offering the productivity of an 80 grit sanding disc at scale.
Precision-Shaped Ceramic Grain
Self-renewing ceramic grains keep the 3M 7100096388 sharp for longer, delivering a consistent cut and finish comparable to 80 grit 3M cubitron products.
YF-Weight Polyester Backing for Stability
Robust YF cloth backing provides dimensional stability and heat resistance during continuous grinding and polishing on titanium.
Film-Lok Low-Profile Splice
Durable Film-Lok splice improves tracking and reduces joint bump, ensuring smooth operation on wide-belt sanders and centerless grinders.
Closed-Coat for Uniform Finish
Closed-coat construction increases abrasive coverage and provides predictable intermediate finishing performance similar to a 3M 80 grit sanding disc.
