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.

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 includes a coarse grade aluminum oxide abrasive. These sanding belts are built to resist wear and sharp edges while removing surface imperfections, blending, cleaning, and deburring on a variety of metals including stainless steel, titanium, steel, iron, and nickel.
