3M 7010360605 Cubitron Ii 947A Abrasive Belt 60 Grit

Product Description

The 3M 7010360605 is the Cubitron II 947A coated abrasive belt, engineered for high-efficiency material removal on metal surfaces. It uses 3M Precision-Shaped Grain technology, which slices through metal rather than gouging or plowing, resulting in faster stock removal with less applied pressure. The X-weight poly-cotton backing provides the flexibility needed for contoured and flat surface work. A built-in grinding aid reduces friction and keeps cutting temperatures low, protecting the workpiece from heat-related distortion or discoloration. This belt is sized at 48 inches long by 6 inches wide and runs at 60 grit, making it well-suited for aggressive blending and finishing tasks performed by metal fabricators and weld prep technicians.

The 947A belt is optimized for low and medium pressure applications on stainless steel, mild steel, and aluminum. It is a common choice in metal fabrication shops, welding operations, and structural steel work where consistent cut rate and long belt life are priorities. The cool-cutting action is especially valuable on stainless steel and aluminum, where heat buildup can cause surface damage or material hardening. The belt is sold individually and fits standard belt grinder and backstand configurations that accept a 48 inch by 6 inch belt.

Key Features

• Precision-Shaped Grain slices metal for faster removal and lower cutting temperatures compared to conventional ceramic abrasives
• Built-in grinding aid reduces friction and minimizes heat transfer to the workpiece
• X-weight poly-cotton backing delivers flexibility for flat and contoured surface applications
• Rated for up to 4 times longer service life than conventional ceramic belts
• Optimized for low and medium pressure use on stainless steel, mild steel, and aluminum
• 60 grit designation suitable for aggressive stock removal and weld blending

Compatibility

Designed for use on belt grinders and backstands accepting a 48 inch by 6 inch abrasive belt. Suitable for stainless steel, mild steel, and aluminum workpieces under low to medium grinding pressure.

Installation Notes

Installation should be performed by a trained operator familiar with belt grinder safety procedures. Ensure the machine is fully powered down and locked out before changing the belt. Verify belt tracking and tension per the equipment manufacturer guidelines before resuming operation. Always wear appropriate PPE including eye protection and gloves when handling and operating abrasive belts.
