3M 7010515870 Cloth Belt 3 in X 72 in Grinding

Product Description

The 3M 7010515870 is a Cubitron II Cloth Belt 984F featuring Precision-Shaped Grain technology on a YF-weight polyester cloth backing. Measuring 3 inches wide by 72 inches long, this belt is engineered for aggressive material removal on demanding metals. A built-in grinding aid reduces heat buildup and extends belt life under medium to high contact pressure. It is used primarily by fabricators, welders, and metalworkers who require consistent cut rate and finish quality on difficult alloys and hard metals. The combination of shaped abrasive grain and a durable polyester backing makes this belt well suited for heavy-duty grinding and finishing operations.

This belt is designed for medium to high pressure grinding and finishing on stainless steel, carbon steel, cobalt chrome, nickel alloys, and other exotic alloys. It fits standard 3 inches by 72 inches belt grinders and finishing machines commonly found in metal fabrication shops, weld shops, and aerospace component manufacturing environments. The belt performs consistently across both wet and dry applications where surface conditioning and stock removal are required on hard-to-grind materials.

Key Features

• Precision-Shaped Grain construction for fast, consistent cut rate on hard metals
• YF-weight polyester cloth backing provides strength and flexibility during grinding
• Integrated grinding aid reduces heat and extends usable belt life
• Rated for medium to high pressure applications on stainless steel and exotic alloys
• Fits standard 3 inches x 72 inches belt grinder platforms

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style replacement for standard 3 inches x 72 inches abrasive cloth belt applications on metalworking belt grinders and finishing machines used with stainless steel, carbon steel, cobalt chrome, and nickel alloys.

Installation Notes

Installation is performed by metalworking professionals on belt grinder and finishing equipment. Power down and lock out the machine before changing belts.
