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 Water-Resistant Sanding Belts
Change your sanding belts less often—these belts have a zirconia alumina abrasive that continuously fractures to form new sharp edges. These self-sharpening edges are great for aggressively removing material on steel and wood. Compared to aluminum oxide sanding belts, these belts sand faster and last longer. Water and cutting fluids won’t break down or soften these belts. A cloth backing makes them flexible yet resistant to tearing. Note: click on a part number to view a volume discount (if applicable).

Fast-Cutting Sanding Belts
Sanding belts with precision-shaped ceramic alumina abrade hard metals like stainless steel faster than standard ceramic alumina belts because of their sharp, outwardly pointed grit. The grain particles continually fracture to produce new, sharp cutting edges while maintaining their specially engineered points and angle. The design also reduces heat generation while sanding, which prevents the grit from wearing down. These belts are also good for sanding steel and soft metals.

Long-Life Sanding Belts for Stainless Steel and Hard Metals
These belts last at least 50% longer and sand faster than standard ceramic alumina belts. The specially engineered grit stays cool while cutting, which prevents dulling. It's sharp and dense enough to shape hard metals such as stainless steel, nickel, and cast iron. Ceramic alumina grit continually fractures to produce new, sharp cutting edges. It sands faster and lasts longer than aluminum oxide but requires more force to abrade properly. A slick coating on these belts prevents debris from accumulating on the abrasive surface and keeps operating temperatures low. They also resist deterioration when used with water or cutting fluids.
