Our 3M™ Cubitron™ II Cloth Belt 997F was designed to tackle your toughest, high-pressure applications on metals like stainless steel, cobalt chrome and nickel alloys. Our 3M™ Cubitron™ II Cloth Belt 997F has all of the unique benefits that operators appreciate about our Cubitron™ abrasives, including fast cut rate, long service life, less heat stress and 3M Precision Shaped Ceramic Grain. The triangular-shaped 3M Precision Shaped Ceramic Grain is a revolutionary advancement in abrasive technology that slices through the substrate and results in a Cloth Belt that lasts up to 2x as long as conventional abrasives.ZF-weight backings are less flexible than other backings but heavier. Consequently, the heaviness of the backing enhances the abrasive’s durability. We chose a ZF-weight backing for this abrasive, so it would be able to withstand high-pressure grinding applications. It is especially suited for heavy-duty stock removal on stainless steel, cobalt chrome and nickel alloys. It also features a grinding aid which is an added coating that helps the abrasive run cooler against the workpiece.Cubitron™ II Cloth Belt 997F has 3M™ Abrasive Grain, our proprietary mineral. This mineral is chemically engineered with a unique “stay sharp” crystalline structure that continually reveals fresh cutting edges on the surface of the workpiece. It ensures an exceptionally fast and sustained cut. Formed through a proprietary process to enhance toughness and hardness of the grain, 3M Precision Shaped Ceramic Grain abrasives offer a longer service life than non-ceramic abrasives. Our products enable operators to do more work in less time for significant gains in productivity.
