3M 7100234864 | 984F x 120+ Grit Precision Shaped Ceramic Cloth Belt

Description

The 3M 7100234864 Cubitron 984F II ceramic belt is made for refined finishing and final surface preparation in precision metalworking. With 120+ precision-shaped ceramic grains, the belt delivers a balanced cut-to-finish ideal where surface quality matters. This 3M cubitron 984F ii ceramic belt runs cooler than many conventional abrasives, helping reduce discoloration on heat-sensitive alloys.
Closed-coat grain distribution minimizes loading and maintains consistent abrasive performance during extended polishing cycles. The YF-weight polyester cloth backing gives dimensional stability and durability for medium/high pressure finishing applications. Use the 3M 120 grit sanding disc as an industrial-grade alternative to any general sanding disc when you need repeatable, production-ready results.
This belt continuously delivers intermediate-fine removal, blending, and pre-coat surface refinement. Single-flex construction allows controlled conformity on curved parts while preserving edge control on flats and bevels. Longer belt life and reduced changeouts lower operating costs while delivering a finer finish than coarser 984F grades. Choose the 3M 7100234864 for consistent, cool-running 120+ grit finishing in polishing, deburring, and final surface prep operations.

Product Features and Benefits

Fine-to-Polish Transition Capability

The 3M cubitron 984F ii ceramic belt provides a smooth progression from intermediate cut to polish, replacing a 120 grit sanding disc and reducing secondary finishing steps.

Anti-Loading Surface Chemistry

Specialized closed-coat formulation resists clogging during polishing and surface prep, keeping the 3M 7100234864 cutting consistently where 120+ grit belts are required.

High Parts-Per-Belt Efficiency

Durable ceramic grain and YF backing extend usable life, delivering more parts per belt and lowering cost-per-part with the 3M 984F belt.

Coating & Adhesion Prep Optimized

The 120+ grit profile creates an ideal surface texture for paint, coating adhesion and production finishing.

Stable Tracking & Low Vibration

Precision construction and Fabri-Lok/Film-Lok splice options ensure reliable tracking and minimal seam impact when using the on-bench and automated equipment.

Frequently Asked Questions

What is the 3M 7100234864 best used for?

The 3M 7100234864 is ideal for final surface preparation, polishing and blend work where a 120 grit sanding disc would normally be used.

How does this belt differ from coarser 984F grades?

Compared with coarser 984F belts, the 120+ grain provides finer removal and better surface finish while retaining cool-running benefits.

What is 120 grit sandpaper used for in production?

120 grit is used for intermediate-fine removal, surface blending and preparing parts for coatings; it rolls well-suited to this 3M cubitron 984F ii ceramic belt.

Is 120 grit sandpaper fine enough for finishing?

Yes, 120+ grit is considered a fine-to-intermediate grade for finishing; the 3M 7100234864 refines surfaces before moving to finer abrasives.

Will this belt reduce loading and changeouts during polishing?

Yes, the closed-coat design and YF backing help resist loading and extend life, reducing changeouts compared to conventional options.
