Product Details
Fast-cutting aluminum oxide abrasive grains are resin-bonded to a durable cotton cloth backing to provide continuous cut and long life. The belt features an open coat and load-resistant coating, making it particularly favorable for sanding soft woods. Its washable backing is suitable for high production environments, allowing for cleaning at intervals to remove soft wood resin or pitch buildup. Aluminum oxide is chosen by industrial professionals for its cut-rate, durability, and longevity, and it can be used on various materials in both woodworking and metalworking, including ferrous alloys. The abrasive particles are adhered to the cloth backing with resin, ensuring a strong bond that withstands high heat and pressure. These abrasive belts come in various widths and lengths, compatible with different belt sanding tools for diverse applications on wood and metal. Wider belts are utilized with wide belt sanders for dimensioning or finishing wood panels, smoothing rough cut edges of metal sheets, or adding grain patterns to stainless steel sheets. Medium-width belts fit onto edge sanders for sanding flat, narrow surfaces such as panel edges, while narrow belts are designed for portable belt sanders to sand or blend wood pieces like cabinet doors. The belts feature various splices that join the belt ends, including a film media splice that achieves a secure bond and minimizes chatter marks for consistent finishing results, and a sine wave splice constructed of interlocking fingers which allows for smooth travel over contact wheels, reduces hinging, and enhances joint strength, typically used for coarser grades and wider belts that may be washed. The kit includes a selection of belts to fit most industrial belt sanders, meeting high demands for performance and durability.
