- Proprietary mineral provides consistent, faster results on medium pressure applications, helping to improve productivity and throughput
- Reduces changeouts and downtime in robotic and pressure-assisted applications
- Suitable for wet and dry applications on all metals
- YF-weight polyester backing is used for Grades 36-80, while lighter XF-weight polyester backing is used for Grades 120-180
Outstanding Performance on Medium Pressure Applications
We engineered our 3M Cubitron II Cloth Belt 784F with medium pressure industrial applications in mind, using 3M Precision-Shaped Grain, which cuts exceptionally fast and self-sharpens during grinding. This high-performing belt contains a ceramic and aluminum oxide blend that delivers cost-effective performance on medium-pressure applications, where a full ceramic belt may be underutilized.
Coarse grades 36-80 have a YF-weight backing, while finer grades of 120-180 have a lighter XF-weight backing. Both weights are moderately flexible and conform well to slight contours and flat surfaces.Ideal for Robotic Grinding and Degating
In medium and high-pressure applications like robotic grinding, it's important to choose a premium abrasive belt like the fast-cutting, long-lasting 3M Cubitron II Cloth Belt 784F. The mineral in the belt continually fractures into sharp edges to keep cutting through the life of the belt, reducing changeouts and downtime in robotic cells. This helps maximize the efficiency of the cell, allowing you to produce more parts per belt.Run it Wet or Dry
With its water-resistant polyester backing, 3M Cubitron II Cloth Belt 784F may be run wet or dry. To protect heat sensitive alloys such as stainless steel, titanium, nickel alloys and cobalt alloys from heat-related stress cracks and discoloration, we incorporated a grinding aid to help reduce grinding temperatures. Additionally, the abrasive is firmly bonded to the backing with resin to maintain durability under high heat and pressure.The Science of 3M Precision-Shaped Grain Blend
3M Precision-Shaped Grain is a major advancement in abrasive technology. This ceramic mineral is designed using a proprietary process to enhance toughness and hardness of the grain. 3M scientists then went one step further and engineered the mineral to form uniform triangular shaped grains that continually fracture into super-sharp points and edges that slice through the substrate, rather than gouging or "plowing" like conventional abrasives. It creates a super-fast cut and lessens heat build-up on the workpiece, reducing heat-related stress cracks and discoloration. Moreover, because 3M Precision-Shaped Grain stays cooler and sharper, it lasts longer than conventional abrasives.Engineered for Demanding Industrial Environments

Trust 3M Cubitron II Cloth Belt 784F to produce immediate, uniform results over the life of the product on all metals, including heat-sensitive alloys.Trusted 3M Cubitron II
The 3M Cubitron II Cloth Belt 784F offers reliable performance with 3M Precision-Shaped Grain technology. This blend ensures a longer life and faster cut compared to traditional belts. The model 784F is designed for medium pressure applications, making it a smart choice for consistent results.
Featuring a 1/2 in x 24 in size, this belt fits many standard grinders. Its Fabri-lok format and single-flex design provide flexibility and durability, ideal for various grinding tasks. The 200 ea/Case pack count supports high-volume use without frequent reordering.
Medium Pressure Grinding Benefits
This belt excels in medium pressure grinding thanks to its YF-weight backing for grades 36-80, offering moderate flexibility. The backing conforms well to both flat and slightly contoured surfaces, improving grinding and blending efficiency.
For finer grades 120-180, the belt uses a lighter XF-weight polyester backing. This variation ensures the right balance of strength and flexibility across different grit sizes, enhancing performance on various metals and surfaces.
Robotic Grinding Efficiency
The 3M Cubitron II Cloth Belt 784F is engineered to reduce downtime in robotic and pressure-assisted grinding. Its mineral continually fractures into sharp edges, maintaining cutting speed and extending belt life during automated processes.
This durability helps maximize throughput in robotic cells, allowing more parts to be produced per belt. The belt’s Fabri-lok format supports easy installation and consistent performance in demanding industrial environments.
Wet Or Dry Use
With a water-resistant polyester backing, this belt can be used wet or dry, making it versatile for different grinding conditions. The grinding aid incorporated helps cool the process, protecting heat-sensitive alloys like stainless steel and titanium from damage.
Its durable resin bond resists heat deterioration, maintaining belt integrity under high pressure and temperature. This feature ensures longer belt life and consistent cutting performance in various applications.
Size And Pack Details
The belt measures 1/2 inch by 24 inches, fitting many standard grinding tools. This size is ideal for precision work and medium pressure applications, providing a balance of control and coverage.
Each case contains 200 belts, supporting large-scale operations and reducing the need for frequent restocking. The Fabri-lok, single-flex design enhances ease of use and adaptability across different grinding tasks.
