3M 7100217490 | 984F x 120+ Grit Precision Shaped Ceramic Cloth Belt

Description

The 3M 7100217490 Cubitron II 984F ceramic belt is made for high-quality finishing where surface appearance and consistency matter. Featuring 120+ precision-shaped ceramic grains, this belt produces fine, repeatable finishes with higher cut control than many conventional abrasives. Its YF-weight polyester cloth backing provides dimensional stability and tear resistance for use in hand and machine sanding applications. Closed-coat construction maintains abrasive coverage for longer life and predictable performance across production runs. The low-profile Film-Lok splice improves run reliability and reduces vibration during continuous finishing cycles. This 3M cubitron 984F II ceramic belt delivers the balance of material removal and refinement associated with 120 grit 3M cubitron products. Ideal for blending, final-stage smoothing, and surface prep prior to coating or polishing, matching workflows that use 120 grit sanding disc tools. Compatible with wide-belt and platen systems as well as belt-driven finishing stations where 3M roloc 120 grit rotary steps are used downstream. Use it for controlled deburring, satin finishes, and light stock removal on stainless steel, carbon steel and painted surfaces. Choosing the 3M 7100217490 reduces rework and improves part-to-part consistency in fine finishing operations.

Product Features and Benefits

Precision 120+ Ceramic Grain

Precision-shaped ceramic grains on the 3M 7100217490 provide a consistent, refined cut comparable to 3M cubitron 120 grit while extending abrasive life.

YF-Weight Polyester Backing

Durable cloth backing offers dimensional stability and tear resistance for reliable performance in 120 grit sanding disc-style finishing systems.

Closed-Coat Construction

High abrasive coverage reduces glazing and maintains cutting efficiency, delivering consistent results where 120 grit 3M roloc sanding discs might be used.

Film-Lok Splice for Smooth Runs

Low-profile Film-Lok splice minimizes joint failures and vibration during continuous finishing, improving uptime on production lines using 3M 984F 120 grit workflows.

Balanced Cut and Finish

Optimized for fine finishing and light stock removal, this 3M cubitron 984F II ceramic belt bridges aggressive cut and refined surface quality akin to a 120 grit sanding disc.

Frequently Asked Questions

What is the primary use of the 3M 7100217490 belt?

The 3M 7100217490 is ideal for fine finishing, blending, and light stock removal where consistent 120 grit sanding disc-level surface quality is required.

How does this belt compare to 120 grit 3M cubitron Roloc discs?

It delivers broader contact-area finishing and longer life for platen or conveyor systems, while 3m roloc 120 grit discs remain useful for localized rotary finishing.

Is the 3M 7100217490 suitable for stainless steel finishing?

Yes, precision-shaped ceramic grains and a closed-coat design provide controlled cuts and reduced loading on stainless and other alloys.

Will this belt work in automated finishing lines?

Yes, the Film-Lok splice and YF-weight backing give reliable performance in continuous automated and conveyorized finishing systems.

What finish can I expect when replacing a 120 grit sanding disc with this belt?

You can expect a refined, uniform finish with predictable removal rates, making it a strong choice when upgrading from standard 120 grit sanding disc products.
