3M 7100234844 | 984F x 50+ Grit Precision Shaped Ceramic Cloth Belt

Description

The 3M 7100234844 Cubitron II 984F 50+ grit belt is made for consistent, fast material removal and reliable finishing in industrial metal applications. Precision-shaped ceramic grains fracture predictably to maintain cutting performance, giving this 3M 984F extended life and repeatable cut rates. Built on a YF-weight polyester cloth backing, the cubitron 984F II ceramic belt provides tensile strength and flexibility for demanding grinding and deburring cycles. Closed-coat construction ensures high abrasive coverage for efficient stock removal while helping preserve surface quality during polishing and finishing. The 50+ grit profile positions this belt as an effective alternative to a 3M 50 grit roloc disc or a 50 grit metal sanding disc for many shop-floor tasks. Film-Lok splice technology gives a low-profile, durable joint that improves run reliability across bench motors and continuous finishing systems. Single-flex design allows the belt to adapt to common belt-driven equipment and manual backstands used in production environments. Operators will find reduced glazing, predictable removal rates and fewer belt changes when choosing this 3M Cubitron 984F solution. Use the 3M 7100234844 for surface preparation, blending, deburring, light shaping and polishing where a 50 grit sanding belt is traditionally used. This maroon 984F belt delivers a balance of aggressive cutting and controlled finish, supporting higher throughput and better part consistency.

Product Features and Benefits

Precision-Shaped Ceramic Grains

Fracture-to-sharp technology maintains cutting performance for fast stock removal, a signature of the 3M 7100234844 and cubitron 984F II ceramic belt.

YF-Weight Polyester Cloth Backing

Provides strength and flexibility to withstand continuous grinding and deburring cycles while preserving belt tracking.

Closed-Coat Abrasive Coverage

High grain density increases cut uniformity and reduces cycle time compared with conventional 50 grit sanding belts.

Film-Lok Splice Construction

Low-profile, robust splice improves run reliability and reduces downtime in production lines using the 3M 7100234844.

Optimised 50+ Grit Performance

Designed as an efficient alternative to a 3M 50 grit roloc disc or a 50 grit metal sanding disc for shaping, blending and finishing metals.

Frequently Asked Questions

What materials work best with the 3M 7100234844?

The 3M 7100234844 performs well on stainless steel, carbon steel and many alloys where a 50 grit sanding belt is specified.

Can this belt replace a 3M 50 grit roloc disc in finishing operations?

Yes, the 50+ grit 3M 7100234844 delivers comparable cut and finish with extended life versus many roloc disc setups.

Is the Film-Lok splice suitable for continuous belt systems?

Yes, the Film-Lok splice on the 3M 7100234844 provides a durable, low-profile joint for reliable continuous operation.

What machine types are compatible with this 3M cubitron 984F II ceramic belt?

The belt is compatible with benchtop motors, manual backstands and common belt-driven finishing equipment used in production shops.

How does the 3M 7100234844 compare to a 50 grit metal sanding disc?

The 3M 7100234844 offers aggressive stock removal like a 50 grit metal sanding disc but with improved longevity and consistent finish quality.
