3M ABRASIVE BELTS FOR METAL
Cubitron abrasive belts for metalworking
For Cubitron abrasive belts, the workpiece material, its initial condition and the required stock removal determine the suitable belt family. Compare pressure range, grit, backing and belt size; Krückemeyer GmbH will assess the right configuration with you.
01
Selection criteria
Start with the task before choosing a Cubitron belt
Do you need to remove welds and substantial material, or deburr and achieve an even intermediate finish? First establish the material, initial condition and target surface. Then consider contact pressure, abrasive grain and grit, cloth backing, bond, and the dimensions and mounting of the existing machine. The belt currently in use and its wear pattern also help identify the cause of a problem.

SELECT BY PROCESS
Assess the belt family, abrasive grain and process together
The 3M Cubitron II 784F cloth abrasive belt is suited to fast, cool grinding, particularly at low to medium pressure. The 3M Cubitron 3 1184F cloth abrasive belt uses redesigned precision shaped grain: grit 36+ is intended for high stock removal, while 60+ and 80+ are intended for more moderate removal such as deburring and blending. Changing product generation alone does not replace an assessment of material, pressure, target surface and belt life in your process.
Krückemeyer GmbH processes coated abrasives and makes suitable abrasive belts with a bonded belt joint. Belt dimensions, backing, joint and operating conditions must match; manufacturing limits cannot be combined arbitrarily. When making an enquiry, tell us the machine, belt size, material, current product and the change you want in removal rate or surface finish. This lets us assess a suitable configuration.

QUESTIONS ABOUT CUBITRON BELTS
How do Cubitron II 784F and Cubitron 3 1184F differ?
These cloth abrasive belts address different selection needs. 784F is suited to fast, cool grinding, especially at low to medium contact pressure. 1184F uses redesigned precision shaped grain, with grits for high or more moderate stock removal. The material, machine, pressure range and desired surface are decisive. Assess the specific product version and the result in your process instead of selecting a belt by its generation alone.
Which grit suits weld removal and which suits deburring?
For the Cubitron 3 1184F cloth abrasive belt, grit 36+ is intended for high stock removal, including weld removal. Grits 60+ and 80+ suit more moderate removal, such as deburring and blending. This guidance applies to that belt family; it is not a general approval for every material. Match the grit to the initial condition, target surface, machine and contact pressure.
What details does Krückemeyer GmbH need for a converted abrasive belt?
Provide the source material or product you currently use, the workpiece material and your processing objective, along with the belt width, belt length, machine and required configuration. Krückemeyer GmbH makes suitable abrasive belts with a bonded butt joint; straight and wavy cuts are possible joint forms. Whether a particular combination is feasible depends on the backing, geometry, dimensions and application. The limits of the manufacturing range cannot be combined freely.
When might a Cubitron abrasive belt be preferable to a non-woven belt?
A Cubitron cloth abrasive belt may be suitable when the task requires controlled stock removal with an appropriate grit. Non-woven belts are a different product form and may be an option for finishing, depending on the material and target surface. Deburring, heavy removal and finishing serve different purposes. First establish how much material must be removed and which surface is required; then check the product form against the machine.
