PRODUCT FAQ

What materials can the 3M™ Cubitron™ II Cloth Belt 984F be used on?

The 984F belt is fantastic for grinding and finishing stainless steel, carbon steel, cobalt chrome, nickel alloys, and other metals. It’s especially popular in metal fabrication!
What makes the "80+ YF-weight" specification important?

Great question! “80+” refers to the abrasive grade (similar to grit size—coarse enough for stock removal), while “YF-weight” means it has a durable yet flexible polyester backing. This combination delivers both toughness and flexibility in your applications.
How does Film-lok attachment work for this belt?

The Film-lok system lets you change belts quickly and easily with minimal downtime since it securely fastens without adhesives or complicated mechanisms—just efficient productivity magic!
Is this belt suitable for wet or dry sanding?

Absolutely! The 984F can be used either wet or dry, which helps control heat during grinding if needed—you get more versatility however you like to work.
Why should I choose Cubitron™ II abrasives over conventional belts?

That’s a great choice—Cubitron™ II features precision-shaped ceramic grain that cuts faster and lasts longer than traditional abrasives. You’ll notice cooler running temperatures too, which helps reduce workpiece discoloration and extends your product life!

Designed for Industrial Environments

The 3M™ Cubitron™ II Cloth Belt 984F is expertly engineered to meet the rigorous demands of industrial environments. Featuring exceptionally fast cutting action and an extended service life, this belt is ideal for high-volume operations. Its advanced ceramic grain technology ensures superior heat resistance, which helps maintain a consistent, uniform finish throughout the product’s lifespan. This feature is particularly beneficial for end-grain sanding applications, as it helps prevent burning and surface damage. The YF-weight cloth backing provides outstanding durability, while the resin-bonded mineral ensures reliable performance even under intense heat and pressure, making it a dependable choice for challenging industrial tasks.

Ideal for Robotic Grinding and Degating

In medium and high-pressure applications such as robotic grinding and degating, selecting a premium abrasive belt is crucial for operational efficiency. The 3M™ Cubitron™ II Cloth Belt 984F is specifically designed for these demanding environments. Its precision-shaped ceramic mineral continually fractures into sharp, fresh cutting edges, allowing the belt to maintain its cutting power throughout its life. This self-renewing action reduces the frequency of belt changeouts and minimizes downtime in automated robotic cells, ultimately increasing productivity and throughput. By maximizing the number of parts produced per belt, this product helps streamline manufacturing processes and reduce operational costs.

A Leader in High-Performing Abrasives

3M™ Cubitron™ II abrasives represent a significant advancement in abrasive technology. Developed by 3M engineers, these products utilize proprietary ceramic abrasive grain that is electrostatically oriented into precise, triangular structures. Each grain forms a sharp peak, functioning like an individual cutting tool that efficiently slices through metal. As these points break off, they continuously self-sharpen, ensuring sustained high performance even in the most demanding production environments. The even wear of the grains provides a consistently long lifespan and reliable results with less grinding pressure required. As a result, Cubitron™ II products consistently outperform and outlast conventional ceramic abrasives, helping to maximize productivity while minimizing belt stress and replacement frequency.
