PRODUCT FAQ
-
What materials can I use the 3M™ Cubitron™ II Cloth Belt 966F on?
Great question! The 966F belt works especially well on stainless steel, cobalt chrome, and other heat-sensitive metals. It's also suitable for mild steel and some softer metals.
-
What does "80+ YF-weight" mean?
"80+" refers to the abrasive grade—comparable to an 80 grit—and "YF-weight" means it's a strong polyester cloth backing that's flexible but tough enough for demanding jobs!
-
Can this belt withstand high pressure grinding applications?
Absolutely! The Full-flex YF-weight backing is designed to resist tearing under heavy pressure, so you'll get consistent performance even with aggressive grinding.
-
Why is Film-lok important in this product?
Film-lok makes switching belts quick and easy—no adhesive or fasteners needed. It saves you time during change-outs while ensuring a secure fit!
-
How many belts come in one pallet if I order bulk?
You’ll receive a total of 48 belts per pallet when ordering bulk – plenty to keep your operation running smoothly!
The 3M™ Cubitron™ II Cloth Belt 966F is engineered to deliver exceptional performance in moderate pressure applications, thanks to its advanced abrasive technology. This belt features a robust Z & Y-weight polyester backing, which not only provides outstanding strength and durability but also offers excellent resistance to water. This makes the belt suitable for both wet and dry sanding operations, as it can be used with liquid-based lubricants without compromising its integrity. The combination of these features ensures that the 966F cloth belt is an ideal choice for demanding projects that require a tough, long-lasting abrasive solution.
The Science of 3M Precision Shaped GrainAt the heart of the 3M™ Cubitron™ II Cloth Belt 966F lies the innovative Precision Shaped Grain (PSG) technology, representing a significant leap forward in abrasive science. Developed through a proprietary process, the ceramic mineral grains are engineered to maximize both toughness and hardness. What sets PSG apart is its unique triangular shape, which is meticulously designed to continually fracture during use, exposing fresh, razor-sharp points and edges. This allows the abrasive to slice cleanly through materials rather than plowing or gouging, as is common with traditional abrasives. The result is a belt that delivers an exceptionally fast cut, minimizes heat buildup, and reduces the risk of heat-related issues such as stress cracks and discoloration. Additionally, the cooler, sharper cutting action of PSG extends the belt’s lifespan, making it a cost-effective choice for industrial applications.
Get the Belt You Need3M offers a comprehensive range of abrasive belts in various widths and lengths to accommodate a wide array of belt sanding tools and metalworking tasks. Whether you require a wide belt for flat finishing and smoothing rough-cut metal sheets or slabs, or a medium-width belt for weld removal and casting gate cleanup on a backstand, 3M has a solution to fit your needs. The versatility and durability of the 3M™ Cubitron™ II Cloth Belt 966F make it a reliable option for professionals seeking consistent, high-quality results in their metalworking operations.
