3M 7010360598 Cubitron Ii 947A Abrasive Belt 120 Grit

Product Description

The 3M 7010360598 is the Cubitron II 947A abrasive belt, built around 3M Precision-Shaped Grain technology that slices through metal rather than gouging or plowing like conventional abrasives. The belt measures 42 inches in length and 1 inch in width with a 120-grit rating. Its X-weight poly-cotton backing provides the flexibility needed for contour work and low-to-medium pressure grinding applications. A built-in grinding aid reduces friction and keeps cutting temperatures lower, reducing the risk of heat discoloration or thermal damage to the workpiece. Licensed tradespeople and metalworking professionals use this belt where consistent stock removal and surface quality matter.

This belt is designed for grinding and finishing on stainless steel, mild steels, and aluminum. It performs best in low and medium pressure applications where conventional ceramic belts tend to dull quickly or generate excessive heat. Typical install scenarios include weld blending, deburring, and surface preparation on fabricated metal components. The flexible poly-cotton backing allows the belt to conform to slight surface variations, making it useful on both flat stock and curved workpieces.

Key Features

• Precision-Shaped Grain cuts metal faster and with less applied pressure than conventional ceramic abrasives
• Built-in grinding aid reduces friction for cooler cutting action
• X-weight poly-cotton backing provides flexibility for contour and flat surface work
• Rated for low and medium pressure applications on stainless steel, mild steel, and aluminum
• Extended service life compared to standard ceramic abrasive belts

Compatibility

Designed for use on belt grinders and finishing machines accepting a 1 inch wide by 42 inch long abrasive belt. Optimized for grinding and finishing stainless steel, mild steels, and aluminum in fabrication and metalworking applications.

Installation Notes

Installation should be performed by qualified personnel familiar with abrasive belt grinder operation. Confirm the machine is fully de-energized and the work rest is properly adjusted before mounting the belt. Verify belt tracking and tension per the equipment manufacturer guidelines before starting the grinder. Always wear appropriate PPE including eye protection and gloves when handling and operating abrasive belts.
