Description
The 3M 7100259603 Cubitron II 984F ceramic belt is a compact, high-performance abrasive made for precision metal finishing on tight fixtures. Sized at 1.375" x 30.0", this Cubitron 984F II ceramic belt brings 80+ grit cutting power in a narrow form factor for detail work. Precision Shaped Ceramic grains offer consistent cutting action and a predictable finish, reducing rework on stainless and carbon steel. YF-weight polyester cloth backing gives dimensional stability and tear resistance for use on portable and bench-mounted grinders. The Fabri-Lok splice ensures a reliable seam under continuous operation, while single-flex construction allows smooth tracking on narrow belt drives. Closed-coat construction maximizes abrasive coverage for longer life and stable performance compared to a standard 80 grit sanding disc. This 3M 984F belt includes a grinding aid to reduce heat and loading, helping maintain part integrity during extended passes. Its narrow width makes it ideal for profiling, edge blending, weld touch-up, and confined-area deburring in production settings. Technicians favor the 80 grit 3M cubitron option for fast material removal with a controlled surface ready for subsequent polishing steps. Choose the 3M 7100259603 for improved throughput, reduced belt changes, and reliable results on demanding metal preparation tasks.
