Solving the Challenges of Soft Metals

3M™ Cubitron™ II Cloth Belt 981F is designed to solve three common problems associated with grinding and finishing aluminum and other soft metals: abrasive loading, edge-shelling and operator fatigue.

To help reduce loading when working with aluminum, bronze and brass, a dry lubricant is integrated into the abrasive and allows the abrasive grain to be relatively free from metal coating them, allowing the cutting surface of the mineral to remain effective. The waterproof backing also enables the user to rinse areas of the workpiece and the cloth during use, in case the abrasive begins to clog.

To help prevent edge-shelling, our 3M™ Cubitron™ II Cloth Belt 981F features a durable, Y-weight polyester cloth backing that stands up to the stresses of working on gates, parting lines and flashing in tight spaces. Plus, unlike other cloth grinding belts, ours features a proprietary resin system to improve mineral adhesion, further reducing the chances of shelling.
