3M 7100217488 | 984F x 120+ Grit Precision Shaped Ceramic Cloth Belt

Description

The 3M 7100217488 Cubitron II 984F ceramic belt is made for fine finishing and controlled material removal in precision metalworking applications. This belt, with 120+ grit precision-shaped ceramic grains, produces consistent surface profiles while lasting longer than conventional abrasives. A closed-coat formulation increases abrasive coverage for even cutting while decreasing loading during polishing and surface preparation cycles. The YF-weight polyester cloth backing provides dimensional stability and toughness for repeated use on the bench and in machine operations. Fabri-Lok splice technology provides a strong, dependable joint that performs well in continuous runs and reduces unplanned downtime on production lines. The single-flex design ensures compatibility with a wide range of belt grinders and finishing fixtures that require a 3M 984F II ceramic belt. This 3M 7100217488 belt complements 3M cubitron 120 grit consumables and produces a finer finish than more aggressive grits, reducing the need for additional polishing steps. When a controlled and consistent surface texture is required, use it in conjunction with 3M Roloc 120 grit pads or sanding discs. The belt is ideal for deburring, blending, and final prep operations on stainless and carbon steels, balancing cut rate and finish quality. When you need a dependable 120+ grit solution to reduce rework and improve throughput in finishing workflows, specify the 3M 7100217488.
