3M 7100406063 Abrasive Cloth Belt 2x72 in Yf Weight

Product Description

The 3M 7100406063 is a Cubitron 3 abrasive cloth belt designed for high-speed grinding, blending, and finishing on metal surfaces. Measuring 2 inches wide by 72 inches long, it features 3M precision-shaped grain technology using triangle-shaped ceramic abrasive grains that stay sharp throughout the life of the belt. The grains are electronically oriented on the belt surface to form continuous sharp cutting peaks, delivering faster stock removal with less applied pressure than conventional abrasive belts. The belt is backed with durable YF weight polyester film and constructed with a Single-Flex Film-Lok design for consistent performance across the full belt width.

This belt is well suited for knife making, grinding, deburring, and finish work on heat-sensitive metals. The abrasive material stays cool during use, making it appropriate for applications on steel, stainless steel, cast iron, titanium, cobalt, and nickel alloys. It is available in grade 36+ (36 grit), 60+ (60 grit), and grade 80+ (80 grit) options. Sold in a box of 5 belts. Typical users include metal fabricators, tool and knife makers, and industrial maintenance technicians.
