Nylon Mesh Cushioned Sanding Belts
When you need to achieve a more consistent finish, choose nylon mesh sanding belts over paper- or cloth-backed belts. The mesh flexes to compensate for uneven sanding pressure as you sand. It's embedded with aluminum oxide, the most common abrasive, which is hard enough to sand steel and wood. These belts resist deterioration when used with water or cutting fluids.
Coarse grade is for deburring and removing heavy rust and surface imperfections.
Medium grade is for light cleaning and blending.
Very fine grade is for removing fine scratch marks and lines, final finishing, polishing, and preparing surfaces for painting.

Nylon Mesh Cushioned Sanding Belts for Stainless Steel and Hard Metals
When you need to achieve a more consistent finish, choose nylon mesh sanding belts over paper- or cloth-backed belts. The mesh flexes to compensate for uneven sanding pressure as you sand. It's embedded with ceramic alumina; its grit continually fractures to produce new, sharp cutting edges. It's sharp and dense enough to shape hard metals such as stainless steel, nickel, and cast iron without dulling quickly. It sands faster and lasts longer than aluminum oxide but requires more force to abrade properly.
Extra coarse grade is for deburring and removing heavy rust and surface imperfections. It is equivalent to 120 to 150 grit.
Coarse grade is for cleaning and blending. It is equivalent to 150 to 180 grit.

Nylon Mesh Cushioned Sanding Belts for
Aluminum, Soft Metals, and Nonmetals
Made of nylon mesh, these belts compensate for uneven sanding pressure to create a smooth, consistent finish on workpieces. Silicon carbide—one of the sharpest abrasives—is embedded in the mesh, so these belts sand quickly with light pressure. They stay cool while sanding, which keeps material from building up on the surface. These belts are very fine grade, so they’re best for removing light scratches, polishing, and preparing surfaces for painting.
