Water-Resistant Sanding Belts
These belts resist deterioration when used with water or cutting fluids. The most common abrasive material, aluminum oxide is hard enough to sand steel and wood. It costs less than zirconia alumina but wears down faster. Click on a part number to view the volume discount (if applicable).

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 Aluminum, Soft Metals, and Nonmetals
One of the sharpest abrasives, the silicon carbide on these belts sands soft metals and nonmetals like aluminum and rubber with ease, and it generates minimal heat to prevent material buildup. These belts have a slick coating that prevents dust and debris from building up on the abrasive surface. The coating also helps keep operating temperature down to reduce wear of the abrasive.

Sanding Belts for Masonry, Ceramics, and Composites
For sanding hard, nonmetal surfaces, these belts are diamonds in the rough. Their diamond abrasive is the hardest and most durable we offer—it's sharp like silicon carbide and tough like ceramic alumina. That makes them a good choice for shaping and smoothing a variety of surfaces from concrete blocks and fiberglass panels to ceramic tiles and graphite molds. These belts resist breaking down and softening from water and cuttings fluids. A cloth backing makes them flexible and resistant to tearing.

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.
