3M 7000045208 Abrasive Belt 36 Grit 137.93x3 in Cubitron Ii

Product Description

The 3M 7000045208 is a coated abrasive belt from the Cubitron II 984F series, built on a YF-weight polyester cloth backing for demanding belt grinding operations. At 137.93 inches long and 3 inches wide with a 36 grit rating, this belt uses 3M Precision-Shaped Grain technology that continuously fractures to expose sharp cutting points. A built-in grinding aid manages heat buildup, reducing discoloration and the risk of heat-related stress cracks on finished workpieces. It is designed for medium to high pressure applications and is a common choice for fabricators, weld shops, and robotic grinding lines working with high-value alloys.

This belt is suited for grinding and finishing stainless steel, carbon steel, cobalt chrome, nickel alloys, and other exotic alloys in both manual and pressure-assisted applications. The YF-weight polyester backing provides the rigidity and durability needed for high-pressure contact wheel and platen work. The extended belt life reduces changeouts and downtime, which is especially valuable in robotic grinding cells and production environments where consistency and throughput matter. Sold individually, with a minimum order quantity of 25 units.

Key Features

• Precision-Shaped Grain fractures continuously to maintain sharp cutting edges throughout belt life
• Built-in grinding aid runs cooler, reducing metal discoloration and heat-related stress cracking
• YF-weight polyester cloth backing handles medium to high pressure contact applications
• Extended belt life produces more parts per belt and reduces changeover frequency
• Compatible with robotic and pressure-assisted grinding systems
• Effective on stainless steel, cobalt chrome, nickel alloys, and carbon steel

Compatibility

Designed for use on stainless steel, carbon steel, cobalt chrome, nickel alloys, and other exotic alloys in medium to high pressure belt grinding and finishing applications.

Installation Notes

Belt installation should be performed by qualified personnel with the grinder powered down and locked out per applicable safety procedures. Confirm belt tracking, tension, and contact wheel or platen alignment before resuming operation. Do not exceed the rated speed of the belt or the machine manufacturer's recommended operating parameters. Inspect the belt and drive components for wear or damage before each use.
