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.

Like tank treads, these belts have wide gaps to collect and channel away debris as they turn. Multiple layers of abrasive arranged in a brick pattern create highly consistent finishes. The layers contain up to four times as much abrasive material as other sanding belts, so they last longer.

The most common abrasive material, aluminum oxide is hard enough to sand most materials. It costs less than zirconia alumina but wears down faster.

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.

Dense and hard, the ceramic alumina abrasive on these belts removes material faster and lasts longer than standard aluminum oxide abrasives. The grit particles break apart as you sand, constantly forming the sharp edges needed to smooth stainless steel, cast iron, and other hard metals. A slick coating keeps the surface of these belts from getting clogged with dust and debris, so they stay cool while you sand. Made from cloth, the backing is flexible and difficult to tear.
