3M™ Cubitron™ ll Cloth Belt 784F, 120+ XF-weight, 1/2 in x 24 in, Fabri-lok, Single-flex, 200 ea/Case

3M™ Cubitron™ II Cloth Belt 784F is designed for medium pressure industrial applications. It is engineered with 3M Precision-Shaped Grain, which cuts exceptionally fast and self-sharpens during grinding. This high-performing belt contains a ceramic and aluminum oxide blend that delivers cost-effective performance on medium-pressure applications, where a full ceramic belt may be underutilized.

The belt is available in coarse grades 36-80, which have a YF-weight backing, and finer grades of 120-180, which have a lighter XF-weight backing. Both weights are moderately flexible and conform well to slight contours and flat surfaces.

For medium and high-pressure applications like robotic grinding, it's important to choose a premium abrasive belt like the fast-cutting, long-lasting 3M™ Cubitron™ II Cloth Belt 784F. The mineral in the belt continually fractures into sharp edges to keep cutting through the life of the belt, reducing changeouts and downtime in robotic cells. This helps maximize the efficiency of the cell, allowing you to produce more parts per belt.

3M™ Cubitron™ II Cloth Belt 784F may be run wet or dry, thanks to its water-resistant polyester backing. To protect heat sensitive alloys such as stainless steel, titanium, nickel alloys, and cobalt alloys from heat-related stress cracks and discoloration, a grinding aid is incorporated to help reduce grinding temperatures. Additionally, the abrasive is firmly bonded to the backing with resin to maintain durability under high heat and pressure.

3M Precision-Shaped Grain is a major advancement in abrasive technology. This ceramic mineral is designed using a proprietary process to enhance toughness and hardness of the grain. 3M scientists then engineered the mineral to form uniform triangular shaped grains that continually fracture into super-sharp points and edges that slice through the substrate, rather than gouging or "plowing" like conventional abrasives. It creates a super-fast cut and lessens heat build-up on the workpiece, reducing heat-related stress cracks and discoloration. Moreover, because 3M Precision-Shaped Grain stays cooler and sharper, it lasts longer than conventional abrasives.

For more than 100 years, 3M has been a leading abrasive supplier of the metalworking industry. With a wide combination of minerals, backings, and bonds, regardless of your grinding and finishing applications, 3M offers a full line of quality coated and bonded abrasives. The exceptionally fast cut and long life of 3M Precision Shaped Grain makes it ideal for industrial environments. Trust 3M™ Cubitron™ II Cloth Belt 784F to produce immediate, uniform results over the life of the product on all metals, including heat-sensitive alloys.
