About Abrasive Belts

Abrasive belts consist of abrasive grains applied to a backing made of cloth, film, foam and sponge, paper, or other material. Abrasive belts are mounted on rotating wheels or pulleys and are used in applications such as surface finishing, sanding, and grinding. There are three categories of abrasive belts: Narrow belts for bench sanders or backstand grinders, portable or file belts for use on small hand held power tools, and wide belts for sanding or finishing large flat surfaces and for abrasive planing or lumber dimensioning.
