Surface-Conditioning Belt for Sanders
This surface-conditioning belt is a non-woven abrasive accessory designed for sanding tasks. It uses aluminum oxide mineral bonded with resin to a scrim backing. The semi-flexible construction conforms to workpiece contours during operation.
Suited for medium-grade surface preparation
This belt suits operators performing deburring, blending or finishing on metal surfaces where a medium-grade abrasive is required. It is not for users who need a specific grit rating for precision stock removal. Buyers requiring coarse or fine grade alternatives should look at other products.
15 1/2 inch overall length
The belt measures 15 1/2 inches in overall length and 3 1/2 inches in width. Confirm these dimensions match the specifications of your sander before purchasing. An incorrect length will prevent proper installation and tensioning on the machine.

Questions about this item
Will the 15 1/2 in length and 3 1/2 in width fit my sander?
The belt measures 15 1/2 inches long by 3 1/2 inches wide; verify your machine takes that exact size before ordering.
How do I install the SC-BS belt without tracking issues?
Slip the belt onto the drive and idler wheels, centre it, then tension until the semi-flexible scrim backing runs straight without wandering.
When should I replace the maroon medium-grade aluminum-oxide belt?
Change it when the non-woven surface loads with residue and no longer cuts cleanly, as the resin bond cannot be refreshed.
