3M 7100242856 | 984F x 36+ Grit x 132.000" OAL Precision Shaped Ceramic Cloth Belt

Description

The 3M 7100242856 Cubitron 984F II ceramic belt is made for heavy-duty metal removal while preserving part finish for downstream operations. This 36+ grit belt uses precision-shaped ceramic grains to deliver rapid cut rates and predictable performance on stainless steel and carbon steel surfaces. At 132.0" overall length and 4.75" width (3352.8 mm x 120.65 mm), the belt is sized for long-run production grinders and conveyorized finishing systems. A rugged YF-weight cloth backing provides tear resistance and dimensional stability during aggressive grinding, deburring, and blending tasks. Closed-coat abrasive construction maximizes cutting contact and reduces glazing, making it a superior choice versus typical 36 grit sanding disc options for industrial use. The built-in grinding aid helps reduce heat and loading on workpieces, improving cycle consistency when using the 3M cubitron 984F ii ceramic belt for weld blending and prep. Film-Lok splice technology delivers a low-profile, dependable joint for continuous operation in automated and manual finishing cells. Single-flex design allows the belt to conform to contact wheels and platen shapes for controlled material removal and consistent surface finish. Use the 3M 7100242856 for grinding, deburring, polishing, and surface preparation where 36 grit grinding disc performance is required. Choosing this 36 grit 3M cubitron product reduces changeovers and raises throughput, delivering measurable productivity and finish quality improvements.
