3M 7100026609 Cubitron Ii 984F Abrasive Belt 80 Grit

Product Description

The 3M 7100026609 is a coated abrasive belt built around 3M Precision-Shaped Grain on a YF-weight polyester cloth backing. The 984F designation identifies this as a high-performance grinding belt engineered for medium to high pressure metalworking applications. Measuring 42 inches long and 1 inch wide with an 80 grit rating, this belt is designed for aggressive stock removal on hard-to-grind alloys. A built-in grinding aid keeps operating temperatures lower, which reduces surface discoloration and minimizes the risk of heat-induced stress cracks. Licensed trade fabricators and metalworking shops running robotic or pressure-assisted belt grinders are the primary users.

This belt is suited for production environments where consistent cut rate and extended belt life matter. It performs on stainless steel, carbon steel, cobalt chrome, nickel alloys, and other exotic alloys. The Precision-Shaped Grain continuously fractures to expose fresh, sharp cutting points throughout the belt's service life, maintaining cut rate longer than conventional abrasive grains. That characteristic makes it well matched to high-volume grinding, blending, and finishing operations where downtime from belt changes reduces throughput. Both manual and automated pressure-assisted grinding setups benefit from this belt's construction.

Key Features

• 3M Precision-Shaped Grain fractures continuously into sharp points for sustained fast cutting
• Built-in grinding aid lowers operating temperature, reducing metal discoloration and heat-related stress cracks
• YF-weight polyester cloth backing handles medium to high pressure applications on stainless steel, cobalt chrome, and nickel alloys
• Extended belt life produces more parts per belt and fewer belt changes, reducing downtime
• Engineered for robotic and pressure-assisted grinding applications
• 80 grit rating suitable for aggressive stock removal and medium finishing work

Compatibility

Designed for use on stainless steel, carbon steel, cobalt chrome, nickel alloys, and other exotic alloys in medium to high pressure belt grinding and finishing applications.

Installation Notes

Belt installation and tensioning should be performed by qualified personnel following the grinder manufacturer's guidelines. Power down and lock out the grinder before mounting or removing any abrasive belt. Confirm belt tracking and tension before resuming operation. Inspect the belt for tears or edge damage before each use and replace immediately if damage is found.
