Zirconia Sanding Belts

Zirconia Sanding Belts are the ideal choice for both professional and DIY applications, delivering exceptional performance and durability. Crafted from supreme-grade zirconia grains, these belts are fully resin bonded to a strong x-weight backing, ensuring they can withstand the rigors of high-temperature and high-pressure grinding applications. The flexible design provides the user with a sturdy yet adaptable sanding solution that meets various project demands.

One of the key advantages of using Zirconia Sanding Belts is their self-sharpening properties. This unique feature allows them to maintain a consistent cutting ability over an extended period, significantly outlasting aluminum oxide belts, often providing up to three times the lifespan. As a result, they deliver faster and more even cuts, making them perfect for a range of sanding applications.

Additionally, these belts are designed for bi-directional use, effectively doubling their lifespan by allowing users to flip the belt and use the other side. The open-coated design further enhances performance by preventing clogging, ensuring that the sanding process remains smooth and efficient.

We carry aluminum oxide and other types of sanding belts, but we highly recommend trying Zirconia Sanding Belts first due to their outstanding performance and longevity. Priced by the box of 100, they are a cost-effective solution for all your sanding needs.
