Especially if the sanding belt is equipped with the so-called 3M Cubitron II grit, you can be sure that a faster sanding operation is not possible!

For stair renovations, for example, where hard glue residues need to be removed, the CubitronII sanding belt is the first choice. If you work with this belt sander all day and speed is very important to you, try the sanding belt Cubitron II minerals and be surprised by its speed.
