3M 7100289590 | 984F x 50+ Grit x 179.500" OAL Precision Shaped Ceramic Cloth Belt

Description

The 3M 7100289590 Cubitron II 984F 50+ grit belt is made for high-capacity metalworking where fast stock removal and repeatable finishes drive productivity. Precision-shaped ceramic grains deliver sustained cutting action that self-sharpens, giving the Cubitron 984F II ceramic belt extended life and consistent performance. At 179.5" (4559.3 mm) overall length and 12.0" (304.8 mm) width, this belt is sized for large platen and conveyorized finishing systems in production shops. Built on a YF-weight polyester cloth backing, the belt offers excellent tensile strength and dimensional stability for continuous operation under load. Closed-coat abrasive placement maximizes active grain contact to accelerate deburring, polishing and surface preparation compared with standard 50-grit sanding belt options. Sine-Lok splice technology provides a robust, low-profile joint that reduces vibration and downtime on high-throughput machines handling long runs. Single-flex construction helps the belt conform to platen diameters for uniform contact, producing consistent finishes part-to-part and reducing rework. This 3M 7100289590 belt delivers superior heat management and reduced loading versus conventional 50-grit metal sanding disc media, lowering scrap risk on temperature-sensitive alloys. Applications include heavy deburring, weld blending, edge conditioning, intermediate grinding, and polishing prior to final finishing or coating.
For facilities needing a dependable, production-grade 3M 50 grit roloc disc alternative in belt form, the 3M 7100289590 provides throughput, life, and finish control.

Product Features and Benefits

Precision-Shaped Ceramic Grain 50+ Grit

Self-sharpening grains deliver sustained cutting performance for fast material removal and longer life than many 50 grit sanding belt alternatives.

Large-Format Production Dimensions

12.0" width and 179.5" OAL suit wide platen and conveyorized machines for fewer belt changes and higher overall equipment effectiveness.

YF-Weight Polyester Cloth Backing

High-strength backing resists stretch and preserves tracking under continuous loads, ensuring consistent performance for the 3M 7100289590 belt.

Sine-Lok Splice for Low Vibration

Sine-Lok splice technology creates a durable, low-profile joint that reduces vibration and splice wear during long automated runs.

Closed-Coat Construction for High Cut Efficiency

Dense abrasive coverage increases contact area to boost cut rate and reduce loading versus open-coat abrasives and many 50-grit metal sanding discs.

Frequently Asked Questions

What is the 3M 7100289590 primarily used for?

The 3M 7100289590 is designed for high-throughput deburring, weld blending, edge conditioning, intermediate grinding and polishing in production environments.

How does the 3M 7100289590 compare to a 50 grit metal sanding disc?

Compared with a typical 50-grit metal sanding disc, this Cubitron 984F II ceramic belt offers higher removal rates, improved heat control, and longer life in continuous use.

Which machines are compatible with this 3M Cubitron 984F II ceramic belt?

The 12.0" × 179.5" format fits wide platen machines, conveyorized finishing lines, production backstands and large platen sanding systems.

What advantage does the Sine-Lok splice provide?

The Sine-Lok splice reduces vibration and splice failures, improving runtime reliability and lowering maintenance on high-volume finishing equipment.

Is this belt a suitable alternative to a 3M 50 grit Roloc disc in production?

Yes, for many production tasks the 3M 984F acts as an effective 3M 50-grit roloc disc alternative, offering greater contact area and improved throughput in belt form.
