Buying sanding belts - what to look for

3M offers a lot of technology, Klingspor offers proper small packages, Deerfos offers a competitive price, VSM has a very good ceramic grit, Starcke is a master in making wide belts. So many choices.... be well advised in choosing the right sanding belt. At Metaaltechniek we are happy to advise you.

In our advice, we are always guided by the speed with which a belt performs the desired processing. Of course, the end result must meet the set requirements.

Speed of work is always leading in our advice. The time it takes to complete an operation is many times more important within the total cost of ownership than the price of an abrasive belt.

Sanding belts for metal, steel or wood

The 3M 984F CubitronII abrasive belt is one of the best belts currently available for working stainless steel and steel. The Prescision Shaped Grain, with its triangular pointed shape, allows for rapid stock removal and relatively low heat input. The latter is important to prevent discoloration of the stainless steel. The 3M 984F is a stiff belt. If you prefer a more flexible belt, try the 947A. This belt also performs well with medium pressure.

Wood has different properties and therefore requires a different type of abrasive belt. The Klingspor range contains a large number of belts that are especially suitable for wood.

Sanding belt for Lissmac machine

A special sanding belt goes on a Lissmac machine. We also call this a powerbelt, which is provided with separate sanding blocks. These sanding blocks can be provided with every conceivable sanding material. A combination of sanding cloth and sanding fleece is also possible. Depending on the desired finish, you determine which sanding product goes on your sanding belt. Metaaltechniek supplies sanding belts for the Lissmac machine with a quick-release system.

The grit determines the material removal rate of the grinding belt

Roughly speaking, there are four types of grain, each with its own unique properties:

  • Aluminium oxide, widely applicable and relatively cheap.
  • Silicon carbide, a very hard and sharp grain. Breaks easily and is often used in a fleece belt.
  • Zirconium grain, a tough but sharp grain that needs pressure to perform.
  • Ceramic grit has a micro-crystalline structure and is hard, sharp and tough. The self-sharpening ability of the grain keeps the abrasive belt sharp for a long time. A special variant is the CubitronII Precision Shaped Grain from 3M.
