3M 7100250497 | 984F x 80+ Grit x 24.000" OAL Precision Shaped Ceramic Cloth Belt

Description

The 3M 7100250497 Cubitron II 984F 80+ grit cloth belt is a high-performance belt made for precise finishing and intermediate smoothing. This 3M cubitron 984F ii ceramic belt, measuring 1.125" x 24", provides precise cut control and dependable runtime for small- to medium-sized parts. Precision-shaped ceramic grains provide fast cutting and continuously renew sharp edges, allowing for consistent 80 grit sanding disc results. Closed-coat grain distribution improves abrasive coverage while providing consistent wear for finishing, polishing, deburring, and surface preparation. The Fabri-Lok splice provides a strong, user-friendly joint that reduces the likelihood of splice failure during repeated bench use. The YF-weight polyester cloth backing offers dimensional stability and tear resistance in both wet and dry conditions. The belt's single-flex design tracks consistently on manual backstands and compact belt sanders used in finishing workflows. Use the 3M 984F for intermediate smoothing before moving on to finer grits. This belt is ideal for aluminum and general metalwork where controlled material removal and consistent surface quality are important. Select the 3M 7100250497 to reduce downtime and improve process repeatability in precision deburring and polishing tasks.

Product Features and Benefits

Compact 1.125" Width for Detailed Work

At 1.125" wide, the 3M 7100250497 allows access to tight profiles and edge work where a full-size 80 grit sanding disc cannot reach.

Precision-Shaped Ceramic Grain

Precision-shaped ceramic abrasives sustain sharp cutting edges for efficient 80+ grit material removal and longer belt life than conventional abrasives.

Fabri-Lok Splice User-Friendly Strength

The Fabri-Lok splice ensures a reliable joint that tolerates frequent operator handling on benchtop and small sander applications.

YF-Weight Cloth Backing for Durability

YF-weight polyester backing resists tearing and provides stability during moderate-pressure grinding, supporting consistent 80 grit sanding disc level performance.

Closed-Coat Design for Uniform Wear

Closed-coat abrasive coverage produces even wear and predictable finish quality across polishing and surface-prep cycles.

Frequently Asked Questions

What is the special use for the 3M 7100250497?

The 3M 7100250497 is designed for intermediate smoothing, deburring, and polishing where 80 grit sanding disc–style refinement is needed on smaller parts.

What are the dimensions of the 3M cubitron 984F ii ceramic belt?

This belt measures 1.125" (28.575 mm) wide by 24.0" (609.6 mm) overall length and features an 80+ precision-shaped ceramic abrasive.

Can this belt be used wet or dry?

Yes, the 3M 80 grit sanding disc supports wet or dry use, offering flexibility for coolant-assisted polishing or dry finishing with generally equivalent results.

How does the Fabri-Lok splice affect operator use compared to Film-Lok?

Fabri-Lok provides a robust, operator-friendly splice suited to manual and benchtop applications, making it ideal for frequent handling and quick changes.

What is 80 grit sandpaper used for, and where does this belt fit?

80-grit sandpaper is used for intermediate smoothing and light shaping; 3M 984F brings that same stage-level cutting and surface preparation to precision belt workflows.
