3M 7100187682 | 984F x 50+ Grit x 132.000" OAL Precision Shaped Ceramic Cloth Belt

Description

The 3M 7100187682 Cubitron 984F II ceramic belt is a large-scale abrasive made for high-volume metal prep and precision finishing. This wide-reach 50+ grit belt, measuring 132.0" OAL by 2.5" W, reduces passes on large panels and long weld seams, allowing for faster cycle times. Precision-shaped ceramic grains create a self-sharpening cutting face, retaining aggressiveness and extending usable life when compared to traditional 50 grit sanding belt formats. A YF-weight polyester cloth backing provides dimensional stability and tear resistance, allowing it to withstand single-flex drives and high-torque platen machines. The Film-Lok splice provides a low-profile, factory-applied seam that improves tracking and reduces seam failures in continuous production. Closed-coat construction keeps abrasive coverage dense enough to withstand glazing and loading during polishing, deburring, and heavy surface preparation. This 3M Cubitron 984F II ceramic belt grinds cooler and produces more consistent results than some 50 grit metal sanding disc or roloc wheel setups. It is suitable for aggressive stock removal, weld dressing, edge blending, finishing, and final surface prep on stainless, carbon, and specialty alloys. The 3M 7100187682's combination of length, width, and ceramic geometry makes it ideal for applications requiring high throughput, repeatability, and minimal rework. When you need a long-lasting abrasive that can replace multiple 50 grit sanding belt options with a single high-performance solution, choose this belt.

Product Features and Benefits

Extra-long 132" Overall Length

Extensive belt length supports long runs on conveyorized machines and large-panel fixtures, reducing changeovers and downtime.

Generous 2.5" Working Width

Wide contact area balances fast material removal with a controlled finish, ideal for seam dressing and broad surface grinding.

Precision-Shaped 50+ Ceramic Grains

Self-renewing ceramic geometry maintains cut rate and life for heavy stock removal, outperforming many 50 grit metal sanding disc options.

Film-Lok Low-Profile Splice

Factory-applied Film-Lok joint enhances seam strength and tracking reliability in continuous production environments.

YF-Weight Polyester Cloth Backing & Closed Coat

Robust backing and dense grain coverage resist tearing and clogging, ensuring consistent performance across long cycles.

Frequently Asked Questions

What are the exact dimensions of the 3M 7100187682 belt?

The 3M 7100187682 measures 132.0" (3352.8 mm) overall length and 2.5" (63.5 mm) overall width with a YF-weight polyester cloth backing.

When should I choose this 3M cubitron 984F II ceramic belt over a 50 grit roloc disc?

Choose the belt when you need continuous coverage, cooler grinding and longer life across wide panels or long weld seams rather than spot grinding with a roloc disc.

Can this belt replace a 50 grit metal sanding disc or 50 grit sanding belt in production?

Yes, its precision ceramic grains and wide format often deliver higher throughput and more consistent finishes than many 50 grit sanding belt and disc alternatives.

How does the Film-Lok splice affect reliability during continuous runs?

Film-Lok provides a smooth, reinforced seam that reduces seam failures and improves tracking under repeated or continuous operation.

What is 50 grit sandpaper used for?

The 50-grit sandpaper is used for aggressive material removal, rapid shaping and heavy weld blending, applications where the 3M 7100187682 Cubitron 50+ grit belt excels.
