3M 7100234849 | 984F x 50+ Grit Precision Shaped Ceramic Cloth Belt

Description

The 3M 7100234849 Cubitron 984F II ceramic belt is made for controlled, aggressive metal removal in production environments. This 50+ grit belt uses precision-shaped ceramic grains to maintain sharp cutting edges and deliver extended life versus conventional abrasives. Constructed on a YF-weight polyester cloth backing, the belt provides dimensional stability and tear resistance for consistent tracking. Closed-coat abrasive formulation concentrates cutting power for predictable, high-efficiency material removal comparable to a 50 grit metal sanding disc. Single-flex design gives modest conformity for profiled surfaces while preserving stability on bench and inline equipment. The Film-Lok splice provides a low-profile, durable joint that reduces seam failures in continuous belt applications. Ideal applications include finishing, polishing, deburring, grinding and surface preparation on carbon and stainless steels. This 3M cubitron 984F II ceramic belt lowers dressing frequency and reduces consumable changeovers to improve throughput. Color coding and robust construction simplify inventory management and ensure repeatable results across jobs and operators. Specify 3M 7100234849 when required a reliable 50+ grit sanding solution that balances removal rate and finish quality and belt longevity.

Product Features and Benefits

Precision-Shaped Ceramic Grain

Self-sharpening grains provide continuous cutting efficiency for fast stock removal, ideal where a 50 grit sanding belt or 50 grit metal sanding disc is used.

YF-Weight Polyester Cloth Backing

Robust backing enhances tear resistance and tracking stability, so the 3M 7100234849 performs reliably on bench and inline finishing equipment.

Closed-Coat Abrasive Coverage

High abrasive density concentrates the cut for predictable removal rates and consistent surface conditioning with reduced clogging.

Single-Flex Construction

Offers controlled conformability to profiles and edges while maintaining stability for polishing, deburring and grinding tasks.

Film-Lok Splice

Low-profile, high-strength splice ensures seam durability and smooth tracking in continuous production runs.

Frequently Asked Questions

What is the 3M 7100234849 best used for?

Designed for medium-to-aggressive stock removal, finishing and deburring on steels where a Cubitron 984F II ceramic belt is required.

How does this belt compare to a 50 grit roloc or disc?

The 3M 7100234849 delivers sustained cutting performance and longer life than many 50 grit roloc discs, with comparable removal characteristics.

Which backing and splice features improve uptime?

YF-weight polyester cloth backing and the Film-Lok splice combine to improve tracking and reduce seam failures during continuous operation.

Can the 3M 7100234849 replace a 50 grit sanding belt in my process?

Yes, its precision-shaped ceramic grains and closed-coat construction make it a durable substitute for conventional 50 grit sanding belts and 50 grit metal sanding discs.

What is 50 grit sandpaper used for?

50-grit abrasives are used for heavy material removal, rapid stock reduction, shaping and initial weld or scale removal prior to finer finishing operations.
