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.

Sanding Belts for Belt Sanding Sticks
Use these narrow belts on hand-held sanding sticks.
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.

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.
Sanding Belts for Aluminum, Soft Metals, and
Nonmetals—Use with Wide-Belt Sanders
Leave a smooth, consistent finish on wide workpieces. One of the sharpest abrasives, silicon carbide quickly removes material under light pressure yet doesn’t generate much heat. This prevents material from building up, so you can use these belts on soft metals, plastic, and rubber.
