Avoid clogs when you're removing paint or rust. The widely spaced grains on these belts give dust and debris a place to collect so they won't build up on the belt’s surface. They use aluminum oxide, the most common abrasive for general sanding. It’s tough and won’t crack under high stress. With a cloth backing, these belts are flexible yet resistant to tearing.

Multiple layers of abrasive arranged in a pattern create highly consistent finishes. The most common abrasive for general sanding, aluminum oxide is tough and won’t crack under high stress. Use these belts for removing paint and rust to final finishing. A cloth backing makes these belts flexible yet resistant to tearing.

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.
