3M 7100023603 Abrasive Belt 80 Grit 132x2 Inch Cubitron Ii

Product Description

The 3M 7100023603 is the Cubitron II 947A coated abrasive belt, engineered for high-efficiency material removal on metal surfaces. At 132 inches long and 2 inches wide with an 80-grit cut, this belt uses 3M Precision-Shaped Grain technology that slices through metal rather than gouging or plowing. The result is faster stock removal at lower pressure with significantly less heat generation compared to conventional ceramic abrasive belts. An X-weight poly-cotton backing delivers the flexibility needed for contoured and flat grinding applications. Installation and operation are handled by metalworking fabricators, weld finishing technicians, and industrial maintenance trades.

This belt is built for low and medium pressure grinding applications on stainless steel, mild steels, and aluminum. It is well suited for weld blending, surface conditioning, and general stock removal in fabrication shops and manufacturing environments. The integrated grinding aid reduces friction during cutting, which extends belt life and reduces the risk of heat discoloration or thermal damage to the workpiece. At 80 grit, it fits workflows that require aggressive material removal while maintaining reasonable surface finish control.

Key Features

• Precision-Shaped Grain slices metal rather than gouging, reducing cutting pressure required
• Cuts faster and cooler than conventional ceramic abrasive belts
• Integrated grinding aid reduces friction and lowers heat buildup at the workpiece
• X-weight poly-cotton backing provides flexibility for varied grinding applications
• Optimized for stainless steel, mild steels, and aluminum
• Lasts up to 4 times longer than standard ceramic belts

Compatibility

Designed for use on belt grinders and abrasive belt machines that accept a 132-inch by 2-inch belt configuration, for low and medium pressure grinding on stainless steel, mild steels, and aluminum.

Installation Notes

Belt installation should be performed by qualified metalworking or maintenance personnel with the machine fully de-energized and locked out before changing the belt. Confirm belt tracking and tension according to the grinder manufacturer guidelines before resuming operation. Inspect the belt for tears or delamination before each use and do not exceed the rated operating speed of the machine.
