3M 7100217037 Abrasive Belt 40 Grit 126x42 Inch Cubitron Ii

Product Description

The 3M 7100217037 is a Cubitron II 966F precision-shaped ceramic grain abrasive belt built for aggressive stock removal and surface finishing on metals. Measuring 126 inches long by 42 inches wide with a 40-grit cut, it uses 3M precision shaped ceramic grain bonded to a Y-weight water-resistant polyester cloth backing. The resin bond system resists heat buildup, which helps prevent surface discoloration on sensitive alloys. This belt is engineered for high-output grinding and finishing tasks performed by fabricators, metalworkers, and maintenance technicians in industrial environments.

This belt is suited for surface finishing on stainless steel, titanium, and high-nickel alloys in both wet and dry applications. Its water-resistant polyester cloth backing supports use with liquid lubricants, making it a practical choice for wide-belt finishing machines in metal fabrication shops and production environments. The 40-grit rating delivers fast, aggressive cutting action appropriate for initial stock removal passes before transitioning to finer grits.

Key Features

• Precision shaped ceramic abrasive grain for high cut rate and extended belt life
• Y-weight polyester cloth backing provides toughness and flexibility for aggressive sanding
• Water-resistant backing allows use with liquid lubricants in wet applications
• Heat-resistant resin bond minimizes discoloration on stainless steel, titanium, and high-nickel alloys
• Effective on a wide variety of metal substrates in dry or wet finishing operations

Compatibility

Designed for use on wide-belt abrasive finishing machines accepting 126-inch by 42-inch abrasive belts. Suitable for metal fabrication applications involving stainless steel, titanium, and high-nickel alloys.

Installation Notes

Installation should be performed by a qualified machine operator following the belt grinder or wide-belt sander manufacturer's guidelines. Ensure the machine is fully de-energized and locked out before changing belts. Verify belt tracking and tension settings before resuming operation. Always wear appropriate personal protective equipment including eye protection and gloves when handling abrasive belts.
