The Can't Miss Details
They come in many different grits from very coarse to very fine. The coarsest grits will remove stock in a HURRY! Medium grits for general purpose sanding and sharpening and the finest grits will leave the best and smoothest surface obtainable.
Ceramic-Abrasive 1 x 42" Strip Sander Belts
Our ceramic grain, coated abrasive material was developed specifically for the commercial woodworking industry and, depending on the application, will easily deliver 4-Times the Life of Standard Aluminum-Oxide Abrasives!
Their performance is nothing short of Amazing! The open-coat application of the particles to the rugged cloth backing resists tearing and deforming against the platen. The open-coat application of particles plus the special coating on this abrasive reduces clogging. All this combined, extends life of this product well beyond what you could expect from more conventional abrasives. Read more about our ceramic abrasive product testing here.
Note: The stiffer backing of the course grits will not work as well with the curved platen.
Note: We advise you to always wear an N95 (NIOSH-Certified) Respirator when sanding to filter out 95% of airborne particles.

556157 | 1x42 Inch 100 Grit Ceramic Strip Sanding Belts (4 Belts) | (4) 1x42 Inch 100 Grit Ceramic Abrasive Strip Sanding Belts (4 Belts) Ceramic Abrasive Test Results The following describes a series of six internal tests of Shopsmith 12" ceramic abrasive discs, conducted by Jim McCann, Shopsmith's resident woodworking expert. All tests were conducted in-house, using a single 100-grit 12" ceramic disc on the Shopsmith MARK at approximately 1,600 RPM. • Test #1: 2" x 4" x 2' Knotty White Pine • Test #2: 1" x 3" x 2' Cherry • Test #3: 1" x 3" x 2' Hard Maple • Test #4: 2" x 4" x 2' Pressure Treated Yellow Pine • Test #5: 1" x 3" x 2' Red Oak • Test #6: 1" x 3" x 2' White Oak In each of the tests above, we force-fed our workpieces into the rotating 100-grit disc as quickly as possible, until the wood was sanded down to just 4" long. The tests each required from four to eight minutes to complete and about 40 minutes for the complete series, after which our MARK Smart Motor was quite warm. As we completed each of the six tests, our disc was holding (but not clogged with) sanding dust. Each time we switched from wood-to-wood, the sawdust from each previous wood was actually displaced by the sawdust from the new wood. This demonstrated clearly that that sawdust was, in no case, adhering tightly to the abrasive particles. When we finished the 6-test series, we simply used an abrasive cleaning stick to remove all signs of sawdust from the disk and return it to like-new condition and color - almost as if it had never been used at all! NOTE: At no time was there any evidence whatsoever of workpiece burning during or after completion of these tests. Truly amazing, considering the speed at which we forced the stock into the rotating disc. |
