3M reshaped and improved 3M Precision-Shaped Grain. Conventional ceramic abrasive grain tends to “plow” through metal, causing heat to build up in the workpiece and abrasive, resulting in a slower cut and shorter abrasive life. 3M pioneered the first precision-shaped grain using 3M microreplication technology to form consistent sharp peaks that easily “slice” through metal—cutting cooler, faster, and lasting longer than conventional abrasive grain. The first time you use the 3M™ Cubitron™ 3 Cloth Belt 1184F, with re-engineered 3M Precision-Shaped Grain, you’ll instantly notice the difference. We’ve taken the legendary cutting speed and life of 3M™ Cubitron™ Performance Abrasives to a new level—outperforming our original 3M™ Cubitron™ II Cloth Belt 984FX Pro.
