3M 7100010398 Cubitron Ii 984F Belt 60 Grit 132x3 Inch

Product Description

The 3M 7100010398 is a coated abrasive belt from the Cubitron II 984F series, built for demanding material removal on metal. It uses 3M Precision-Shaped Grain — a structured abrasive that continuously fractures to expose sharp cutting points rather than dulling. The belt rides on a YF-weight polyester cloth backing and incorporates a grinding aid that controls heat generation during cut. At 132 inches long and 3 inches wide with a 60 grit rating, it is sized for wide-contact-area belt grinders and finishing machines used in metalworking fabrication shops, aerospace component manufacturing, and heavy industrial finishing lines.

This belt is designed for medium to high pressure applications on stainless steel, carbon steel, cobalt chrome, nickel alloys, and other exotic alloys. It performs in both robotic belt-grinder setups and pressure-assisted finishing systems where consistent cut rate and reduced downtime are priorities. The cooler running characteristic of the Precision-Shaped Grain helps prevent metal discoloration, oxidation, and heat-related stress cracks — concerns that matter most when working exotic alloys and aerospace-grade materials where metallurgical integrity is a specification requirement.

Key Features

• 3M Precision-Shaped Grain fractures continuously to maintain sharp cutting edges and fast stock removal
• YF-weight polyester cloth backing handles medium to high pressure grinding without delamination
• Grinding aid reduces heat at the work surface, limiting oxidation and heat-related stress cracking
• Extended belt life means fewer changeouts and less downtime in robotic and pressure-assisted applications
• 60 grit rating suited for aggressive material removal and blending on metal surfaces
• 132 inch by 3 inch format fits wide-platen and large-format belt grinding equipment

Compatibility

Designed for use on wide-format belt grinding and finishing machines that accept 132-inch by 3-inch abrasive belts, including robotic and pressure-assisted grinding systems used in metalworking and aerospace fabrication environments.

Installation Notes

Belt installation should be performed by qualified grinding equipment operators following the machine manufacturer's tracking and tensioning procedures. Power down and lock out the grinder before mounting or removing any abrasive belt. Confirm belt arrow or grain orientation markings align with the machine's direction of travel before startup. Inspect the contact wheel and platen for wear or damage that could cause uneven belt loading or premature failure.
