CubitronII, faster than all other abrasives

3M™ Cubitron™ II Abrasives - Faster work, longer life, less heat input, less particulate matter!

CubitronII has a successor! Read more about the latest generation 3M Cubitron 3 on our special page

The introduction of the CubitronII grain has been a revolution in the sanding and grinding of metals. And the quality is still unrivalled.

The CubitronII grit cuts through the metal. And cutting creates chips much more than dust. Swarf is a larger particle than dust. It is therefore heavier and falls to the ground more quickly. But it can't penetrate deep into the lungs either, the particles are too big for that. And because you also work faster, you are exposed to fine dust for a shorter period of time. Three times profit for CubitronII! Download the independent VITO report on dust emission from the documentation.

The secret lies in the patented triangular shape of the ceramic grain. The grains are vertically oriented in the direction of the workpiece. In this way, the grain cuts, as it were, deep into the metal. This guarantees rapid reduction and little heat generation. Because the minerals break down over and over again, the triangular shape is retained and the grain continues to do its work. The tool life is therefore also many times longer than you are used to from a standard mineral.

Under the microscope the triangular shape of the CubitronII minerals is clearly visible.

The CubitronII mineral has been used in various types of abrasives:

CubitronII Fiber Discs:

3M™ 982C and 3M™ 987C fiber discs

The 3M™ 982C Cubitron™ II fibre discs have been specially developed for machining steel and are particularly suitable for the most demanding applications such as removing welds, making melting baths and chamfering before welding. They are used in foundries, shipbuilding, welding and construction companies, metal construction etc...
The 3M™ 987C Cubitron II fibre disc is ideally suited for applications on heat sensitive metals such as stainless steel, aluminium and nickel alloys. The 3M 987C fibre disc penetrates deeper into the metal and cuts very consistently and quickly through the toughest metals throughout its service life. Available in 3 different diameters: 115, 125 and 178 mm

Gross:

36+ Coarse is suitable for all applications in coarse P24, P36, P40
60+ Coarse is suitable for all applications in coarse P40, P50, P60
80+ Coarse is suitable for all applications in coarse P60, P80, P100

Why a 36+, 60+, 80+ coarse?
Due to the unique shape and positioning of the sanding minerals in the new 3M™ Cubitron™ II Technology, the coarseness cannot be determined by the traditional methods within the FEPA standards. 3M has opted for the indication of a "+" sign to indicate that the aggressiveness of this mineral groove is comparable to a wider range of grooves.

CubitronII Roloc quick-change system

The 3M Roloc™ system offers a wide range of different abrasives that can be changed and kept in place with a simple quarter turn, without the use of tools. Specially developed accessories ensure optimum performance - the hardness of the backing pad can affect the required pressure and cutting force. Choose from 3M backing pads in various diameters and the specially developed range of abrasives for the right degree of aggression or comfort for your applications.

Reinforced edg
e
The back with reinforced edge makes the sanding disc stronger all round so that premature fraying or wear is a thing of the past.

Performance
3M 984F Cubitron™ II Roloc™ fibre discs are excellent for machining, deburring and finishing virtually all types of metal. The triangular-calibrated abrasive mineral in combination with grinding aid ensures less heat generation and at the same time continuous cutting with less force.

CubitronII cut-off wheels

3M™ Cubitron™ II Cut-off wheels are a revolution in the grinding process. Cut faster and last longer than conventional discs.
3M Cubitron II Cut-Off Wheels are available in different diameters and thicknesses. View the Cubitron II Cut-Off Wheels Brochure for a complete overview of the range of cut-off wheels.

CubitronII skid and deflashing discs, unrivalled in speed.

CubitronII deflashing discs

In 2016, the CubitronII deflashing disc was upgraded, with a service life up to 20% longer than its predecessor. Due to this high tool life, the speed at which the deflashing discs operate and the low pressure, it is up to three times lower than conventional discs. When deburring, you can remove more material in less time and continue for longer. That's efficient work!
The CubitronII deflashing disc is less tiring for the user due to the lower pressure required and less disc vibration, and of course it is faster to finish because of the rapid removal of the disc.

CubitronII sanding belts

The spectrum of sanding belts in CubitronII quality has grown significantly in 2017. Do you want heavy machining or light grinding? Whether you want to machine cast iron, steel, stainless steel or aluminium, there is a suitable belt for every application. Do you want to apply a lot of pressure or not? Do you want a rigid back or flexible? Working wet or dry?
Some belts are equipped with a so-called "Grinding aid", an aid against heat input, for example.
