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.

Uniform-Finish Sanding Belts
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.

Cushioned Sanding Belts
Create finer and more consistent finishes—these belts have a cushioned layer that creates more even sanding pressure on your workpiece. They also have a slick coating that prevents debris from accumulating on the abrasive surface and keeps operating temperatures low.
One of the sharpest abrasives, silicon carbide cuts through steel and wood with ease. It costs less than zirconia alumina but will not last as long.

Sanding Belts for Belt Sanding Sticks
Use these narrow belts on hand-held sanding sticks.
Sanding Belts for Wide-Belt Sanders
At least 16" wide, these sanding belts leave a smooth, consistent finish on large workpieces. They have an aluminum oxide abrasive, which is the most common abrasive for general use. It's tough and resists cracking under high stress. Use these belts to remove material, such as paint and rust, from steel and wood surfaces.
