3M 7100095559 Cubitron Ii 984F Belt 120 Grit 24x0.5 in

Product Description

The 3M 7100095559 is the Cubitron II 984F coated abrasive belt, built on a YF-weight polyester cloth backing and loaded with 3M Precision-Shaped Grain technology. At 120 grit and sized 24 inches long by 1/2 inch wide, this belt is engineered for medium to high pressure grinding on stainless steel, cobalt chrome, nickel alloys, and carbon steel. The Precision-Shaped Grain continuously fractures into sharp cutting points, maintaining aggressive stock removal throughout the belt's life. A built-in grinding aid helps manage heat, reducing metal discoloration, oxidation, and heat-related stress cracking during demanding finishing operations.

This belt is suited for robotic and pressure-assisted grinding applications in fabrication, aerospace, and medical manufacturing environments where tight tolerances and surface integrity on exotic alloys are required. The 984F designation targets applications involving stainless steel, cobalt chrome, and nickel-based superalloys, as well as general carbon steel grinding. Its longer belt life means fewer changeovers and less downtime on automated and manual belt grinding machines running 1/2 inch wide contact wheels or platens.

Key Features

• Precision-Shaped Grain fractures continuously to expose sharp cutting edges, sustaining fast cut rates over the belt's full life
• Engineered to run cooler than conventional abrasives, minimizing heat-induced discoloration and stress cracking on sensitive alloys
• Built-in grinding aid supports high-pressure applications on stainless steel, cobalt chrome, and nickel alloys
• YF-weight polyester cloth backing provides the rigidity and durability required for medium to high pressure grinding
• Reduced changeover frequency in robotic and pressure-assisted setups improves throughput and lowers per-part abrasive cost
• 24 inch by 1/2 inch format fits standard narrow-contact belt grinders and finishing machines

Compatibility

Designed for use on belt grinding machines accepting 24 inch by 1/2 inch abrasive belts, and suited for grinding stainless steel, cobalt chrome, nickel alloys, and carbon steel in medium to high pressure applications.

Installation Notes

Installation is typically performed by machine operators or maintenance technicians familiar with belt grinding equipment. Ensure the machine is de-energized and all moving parts have come to a complete stop before changing the belt. Verify belt tracking and tension per the grinder manufacturer's specifications before resuming operation. Always wear appropriate PPE including eye protection and gloves when handling and installing abrasive belts.
