The 3M Cubitron II Abrasive Belt 947A built with 3M Precision-Shaped Grain cuts metal dramatically faster and cooler, and stays sharp longer than conventional ceramic belts. Its X-weight poly-cotton backing is flexible. This belt is optimized for low and medium pressure applications on stainless steel, mild steels, and aluminum.
- 3M Precision-Shaped Grain slices through metals like a knife rather than gouging or plowing
- Removes material faster, with less pressure
- Includes a grinding aid for less grinding friction and cooler cutting
- Cool cutting action lessens the risk of heat-related damage to workpiece
- An X-weight poly-cotton backing is optimized for flexibility
- Lasts up to 4 times longer than conventional ceramic belts

PRODUCT FAQ
-
What makes the 3M™ Cubitron™ ll Cloth Belt 947A unique compared to other abrasives?
The 3M™ Cubitron™ ll Cloth Belt 947A stands out due to its precision-shaped ceramic grain that provides faster cutting and longer life span compared to conventional abrasives.
-
How many belts come in each pack of the Fabri-lok, Single-flex option?
Each pack of the Fabri-lok, Single-flex option contains 50 belts for your convenience.
-
Can I purchase a smaller quantity than a full case of the 3M™ Cubitron™ ll Cloth Belt 947A?
Yes, you have the flexibility to purchase individual packs with multiple belts or larger quantities by ordering cases based on your needs.
-
Does the X-weight designation refer to the belt's durability or flexibility?
The X-weight specification refers to the density and sturdiness of the backing material used in this belt, ensuring robust support during heavy-duty applications.
A closed coat and a grinding aid make our 3M Cubitron II Abrasive Belt 947A an outstanding option for low to medium pressure applications on heat sensitive metals. The unique structure of the abrasive diverts heat to the swarf, keeping both the belt and workpiece cooler. We now offer grades 40+ (made to order), 60+, 80+, and 120+, providing an improved solution for finer finishing applications.
Cutting Edge Performance for Low and Medium Pressure SandingThe 3M 947A is a semi-flexible Cubitron II belt with an X-weight poly-cotton backing. The X-weight cloth provides flexibility and tensile strength, making it ideal for various applications. This belt is available in a range of small sizes, allowing operators to easily maneuver around intricate parts. It is a great option for low-and-medium-pressure offhand operations and can be used with backstands, file belt sanders, inline sanders, and stroke sanders.
How 3M Precision-Shaped Grain Works3M Precision-Shaped Grain is designed to continuously fracture, forming sharp points and edges that effortlessly "slice" through metal. Unlike conventional ceramic abrasive grain that tends to "plow" through the metal, our Precision-Shaped Grain cuts faster, lasts longer, and stays cooler. This innovative technology prevents heat build-up in the workpiece and the abrasive, resulting in a faster cut, longer belt life, and avoiding undesirable effects like burnishing.
3M Science. The Beginning of Cubitron II.In 2009, our 3M scientists recognized that abrasives would perform better if each grain of the ceramic abrasive material was uniform in size and shape. They envisioned a grain that would act like a knife, shaving off material instead of plowing through it and causing heat damage. The breakthrough came when they applied microreplication technology, already used for creating reflective materials, to develop 3M's Precision-Shaped Grain. This technology arranges identical triangular-shaped abrasive grains electrostatically on an abrasive backing, resulting in faster and cooler cutting action, improved productivity, reduced operator fatigue, and longer belt life.
