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.

When you need to achieve a more consistent finish, choose nylon mesh sanding belts over paper- or cloth-backed belts. The mesh flexes to compensate for uneven sanding pressure as you sand. It's embedded with ceramic alumina; its grit continually fractures to produce new, sharp cutting edges. It's sharp and dense enough to shape hard metals such as stainless steel, nickel, and cast iron without dulling quickly. It sands faster and lasts longer than aluminum oxide but requires more force to abrade properly.

Extra coarse grade is for deburring and removing heavy rust and surface imperfections. It is equivalent to 120 to 150 grit.

Coarse grade is for cleaning and blending. It is equivalent to 150 to 180 grit.
