    Sanding Belts

    Smooth or shape work surfaces. Good for general purpose sanding, the aluminum oxide abrasive on these belts is tough and won’t crack under stress. These belts are often used to remove rust and paint from steel or wood surfaces. Thanks to their cloth backing, they’re flexible yet resistant to tearing.

    Long-Life Sanding Belts for Wide-Belt Sanders

    Image of Product. Front orientation. Contains Annotated. Sanding Belts. Long-Life Sanding Belts for Wide-Belt Sanders.
    With a flexible, cloth backing, these belts resist tearing. You won’t have to change them as often as wide belts with a paper backing. 16" or wider, they’re for sanding large surfaces. They’re made with the most common abrasive for general use, aluminum oxide. Since it’s tough, it won’t crack under high stress. Whether you need to remove paint, rust, or other material, these belts leave a consistent finish on steel and wood workpieces.

    Uniform-Finish Clog-Resistant Sanding Belts

    Like tank treads, these belts have wide gaps to collect and channel away debris as they turn. Multiple layers of abrasive arranged in a brick pattern create highly consistent finishes. The layers contain up to four times as much abrasive material as other sanding belts, so they last longer.
    The most common abrasive material, aluminum oxide is hard enough to sand most materials. It costs less than zirconia alumina but wears down faster.

    Sanding Belts for Aluminum, Soft Metals, and Nonmetals

    One of the sharpest abrasives, the silicon carbide on these belts sands soft metals and nonmetals like aluminum and rubber with ease, and it generates minimal heat to prevent material buildup. These belts have a slick coating that prevents dust and debris from building up on the abrasive surface. The coating also helps keep operating temperature down to reduce wear of the abrasive.
