Highlights
3M Precision-Shaped Grain cuts exceptionally fast, helping increase productivity
Custom sizes may be available
Engineered to run cooler, reducing the chance of metal discoloration/oxidation and heat-related stress cracks
Stays sharp longer, producing more parts per roll and requiring fewer roll changes
YF-weight backing excels in medium/high pressure applications
3M Cubitron II Cloth Roll 984F offers revolutionary performance with 3M Precision-Shaped Grain on a YF-weight polyester cloth backing. This high-performing roll contains a grinding aid, making it ideal for medium to high pressure applications on stainless steel and other exotic alloys, along with carbon steel, cobalt chrome and nickel alloys.
About 3M Precision-Shaped Grain
3M Cubitron II Cloth Roll 984F uses a precision shaped ceramic grain that continually fractures into super-sharp points and edges that slice cleanly through metal, rather than gouging or plowing as traditional abrasives do. This creates a super-fast cut and lessens heat build-up in the workpiece, reducing heat-related stress cracks and discoloration. Moreover, because the abrasive itself stays cooler and sharper, it lasts significantly longer than conventional ceramic grain rolls, decreasing costs and reducing roll changeovers.
Durable Design
The exceptionally fast cut and long life of ceramic grain make this roll ideal for industrial environments. It is also heat resistant, produces a uniform finish over the life of the product, and helps eliminate burning during end-grain sanding applications. The YF-weight cloth backing on the 984F cloth provides durability and the mineral is resin bonded to the backing for reliable performance, even under high heat and pressure.
The 3M Cubitron II Advantage
3M Cubitron II abrasive products have raised the bar for high-performing abrasives. 3M engineers started with 3M Ceramic Abrasive Grain and used technology to electrostatically orient each triangular structure on the backing to form sharp peaks and maximize cutting potential. These peaks act like individual cutting tools that slice through metal, and continuously shelf-sharpen as the points break off, ensuring extended high performance in heavy-duty production applications. The grains wear evenly and provide extra-long life and consistency with less grinding pressure. The result is that 3M Cubitron II products out-cut and outlast every conventional ceramic industrial abrasive product on the market.
