Description

3M Cubitron II Abrasive Belts 984F

Cubitron II is a new advanced belt technology from 3M that outlasts ceramic belts. 

Man-made small minerals of combined ceramic and alu oxide particles are pressed into cubitron particles, creating a longer-lasting and more even-wearing belt than simpler ceramic-only belts.

This is the 984F - the model we recommend for machine fed grinding - due to more abrasive concentration than the less expensive 767F that requires less pressure to get full belt life.

For most knifemakers we recommend the 767F over the 984F as it is more cost-effective for hand grinding (applying force by hand, as opposed to a machine-fed grinder used in the production industry)

The reason these Cubitron II belts are taking over for ceramic belts are:

  • longer lasting by using "pyramids" of small particles rather than larger, single ceramic particles
  • more even finish by slowly wearing down pyramics of even grain size as opposed to uneven ceramic particles being resharpened or dulled, eventually  ripped off the belt as the belt wears down

The price is for a single 3M Cubitron II belt 984F, bulk discounts apply for 5+ belts across size/grits:

This is what 3M has to say about the Cubitron II technoloy:

3M™ Cubitron™ II Abrasives. These premium abrasives belts, discs and wheels are powered by 3M Precision-Shaped Grain — the result of decades of technological advances in ceramic abrasive and microreplication technologies. As the triangular shaped grain wears, it continuously fractures to form sharp points and edges that slice through metal, wear evenly and provide super-long life and consistency at any grinding pressure.

The bottom line: 3M™ Cubitron™ II Abrasives cut faster, last longer, and help lower your production costs.

    Excellent belts, made post heat treat belts feel like mild steel.
