3M 7100159587 Abrasive Belt 60 Grit 48x2 Inch Cubitron Ii 981F

Product Description

The 3M 7100159587 is the Cubitron II 981F abrasive sanding belt, engineered for grinding, weld removal, finishing, and blending on softer metals. Built on a tough Y-weight polyester cloth backing, it uses 3M Precision-Shaped Grain to cut fast and consistently. The belt measures 48 inches in length and 2 inches in width and runs at 60 grit. A durable resin bond resists heat-related deterioration, extending belt life in demanding applications. The water-resistant polyester construction supports use with liquid coolants, making it a dependable choice for metalworking shops and fabrication professionals.

This belt is designed for use on soft metal substrates including aluminum, bronze, and brass. It suits bench grinders, belt grinders, and handheld belt sander applications found in metal fabrication shops, welding operations, and maintenance environments. The integrated dry lubricant reduces loading during grinding on non-ferrous metals, helping maintain cutting efficiency between belt changes. It is a strong fit for both production grinding and detail finishing work where surface quality on soft metals matters.
