3M 7010292569 Cubitron Ii 966F Abrasive Belt 80 Grit

Product Description

The 3M 7010292569 is a coated abrasive belt from the Cubitron II 966F line, engineered for aggressive surface finishing on metal. It measures 120 inches long and 9 inches wide with an 80 grit rating. The belt uses 3M precision shaped ceramic grain bonded to a Y-weight polyester cloth backing that resists water, making it suitable for both wet and dry applications. Resin bonding helps manage heat buildup, which reduces the risk of discoloring heat-sensitive metals such as stainless steel and titanium. Fabricators, weld grinders, and metal finishing technicians working on high-value alloys are the primary users of this belt.

This belt is suited for surface finishing, weld blending, and stock removal on stainless steel, titanium, and high nickel alloys in both fabrication shop and industrial maintenance environments. The 80 grit cut makes it effective for intermediate material removal where surface condition matters and heat-induced discoloration must be avoided. The water-resistant backing allows use with liquid lubricants or coolants, extending belt life in continuous-duty applications.

Key Features

• Precision shaped ceramic grain delivers high cut rate and extended belt life on hard metals
• Y-weight polyester cloth backing provides durability and flexibility for aggressive sanding
• Water-resistant backing supports wet and dry application compatibility with liquid lubricants
• Resin bond resists heat buildup and helps prevent metal discoloration during grinding
• 120 inch length and 9 inch width suits wide-platen and large-format belt grinding machines

Compatibility

Designed for use on wide-format belt grinders and finishing machines that accept 120 inch by 9 inch abrasive belts. Suitable for metal substrates including stainless steel, titanium, and high nickel alloys in wet or dry finishing operations.

Installation Notes

Belt installation and tensioning should be performed by a qualified operator following the machine manufacturer's guidelines. Power down and lock out the belt grinder before changing belts. Verify belt tracking alignment before resuming operation to prevent edge wear or belt failure. Inspect the splice joint and backing for damage before mounting.
