3M 7100197104 Cubitron Ii 984F Belt 60 Grit 144x12 Inch

Product Description

The 3M 7100197104 is the Cubitron II 984F abrasive cloth belt, engineered for high-output grinding on stainless steel, cobalt chrome, nickel alloys, and carbon steel. It uses 3M Precision-Shaped Grain on a YF-weight polyester cloth backing. The shaped grain continuously fractures during use, exposing fresh cutting edges that sustain cut rate far longer than conventional abrasive grain. A built-in grinding aid manages heat at the workpiece interface, reducing metal discoloration, oxidation, and heat-related stress cracks. This belt measures 144 inches in length and 12 inches in width at 60 grit. It is designed for use in robotic, pressure-assisted, and manual belt grinding applications in fabrication and metalworking environments.

This belt is suited for medium to high pressure applications where workpiece metallurgy is sensitive to heat, such as aerospace, medical device, and heavy fabrication shops working with stainless steel and exotic alloys. The 984F is a direct fit for wide-belt and platen-style grinding machines that accept 144 inch by 12 inch belts. Metalworking professionals and fabrication shops running high-cycle or automated grinding lines will benefit from its extended belt life and reduced changeover frequency. It is sold individually and requires a minimum order quantity of 5 units.

Key Features

• 3M Precision-Shaped Grain fractures continuously to maintain sharp cutting edges and sustained cut rate
• YF-weight polyester cloth backing withstands medium to high grinding pressure on hard alloys
• Integrated grinding aid runs cooler, limiting discoloration, oxidation, and heat stress cracking on workpieces
• Extended belt life reduces changeover frequency and downtime in robotic and pressure-assisted applications
• 60 grit designation suited for aggressive stock removal on stainless steel, cobalt chrome, and nickel alloys
• Compatible with high-cycle automated grinding lines where belt longevity directly impacts throughput

Compatibility

Designed for belt grinding machines accepting 144 inch by 12 inch abrasive belts, particularly in medium to high pressure applications on stainless steel, carbon steel, cobalt chrome, and nickel alloys.

Installation Notes

Belt installation and tensioning should be performed by a qualified machine operator or maintenance technician with the grinding machine fully powered down and locked out per OSHA lockout/tagout procedures. Verify belt tracking and tension before resuming operation. Inspect the contact wheel or platen for wear that could cause uneven belt loading and premature failure. Always confirm belt size matches machine specifications before mounting.
