3M 7100141686 Abrasive Belt 120 Grit 24x0.25 Inch Cubitron Ii

Product Description

The 3M 7100141686 is a coated abrasive belt from the Cubitron II 947A line, engineered for aggressive material removal on metal surfaces. It uses 3M Precision-Shaped Grain technology, which slices through metal rather than plowing through it, producing faster cuts at lower pressure and generating less heat. The X-weight poly-cotton backing provides flexibility suited for contoured or irregular workpieces. At 120 grit, it delivers a balance of stock removal and surface finish control. This belt is built for low and medium pressure grinding and finishing applications on stainless steel, mild steel, and aluminum.

This belt is designed for use on portable or stationary belt grinders and file belt machines in fabrication shops, metal service centers, and maintenance environments. It is well-suited for weld blending, deburring, and surface preparation on flat and contoured metal parts. The inclusion of a grinding aid reduces friction and heat buildup during use, making it appropriate for heat-sensitive materials such as stainless steel and aluminum. Tradespeople and fabricators working in production or repair settings will find the 120-grit grade effective for intermediate finishing passes.

Compatibility

Designed for use on belt grinders and file belt machines accepting a 24-inch length by 1/4-inch width abrasive belt in low and medium pressure metal grinding and finishing applications.

Installation Notes

Installation should be performed by a qualified operator familiar with abrasive belt equipment. Confirm the machine is fully de-energized and the belt tool is locked out before changing belts. Verify belt tracking and tension per the machine manufacturer's guidelines before resuming operation. Always wear appropriate PPE including eye protection and gloves when handling abrasive belts and operating grinding equipment.
