Red Label Abrasives6 X 48 Inch 60 Grit Sanding Belt - Industrial Grade EdgeCore Ceramic - 2 Pack - For Knife Grinding and Metalworking

Good product and longer lasting than the other similar products I've used, especially for iron and steel grinding/smoothing. The extra bucks are worth the extra life you will get. I'm not an expert on abrasives but I can say that this ceramic material works much faster on metal and lasts longer then the non-ceramic ones I've tried. I will tell you too that customer service is one of the best on Amazon. Responsive and concerned with any problem that there might be with their product.November 30, 2019 Update:Don't know if it's me or the sanding belt but the last two belts from my most recent purchase, did not seem to last as long (by number of projects) as my earlier purchases. I use them in the same manner and used to get significantly more jobs out of a belt than the more recent batch. I reckon time will tell as I just ordered two more. Still rating at 5 stars until I determine longevity of the new ones.

This is a very good product that cuts through any material well and lasts a very long time. You do pay a little more but it really is a good product.It’s now the middle of January and I’ve been using this one belt on a regular basis, grinding metal parts and epoxy resin for my projects. These 80 grit belts really hold up for the long haul. And they don’t load up grinding epoxy. I’ve tried a few brands now with the idea of saving money. I now believe paying a little more for these belts is the best way to do that.

these are great belts for taking off material fast. I use it to grind polyurethane and it has sped my grinding process for these urethane parts in half from a 40 grit belt. Just keep your knuckles away from this belt, as it will remove skin just as fast!So here it is 2020, 4 years after purchasing these belts. Its time to purchase another pair. They really cut great and wear a long time. NOTE: I only use these belts for cutting a 45A durometer polyurethane block, I have never used this belt to cut any steel. I dont want to wear out the belt prematurely by grinding metal with it, so they really last a long time for me grinding urethane only. I highly recommend these belts (I'm using a 36 grit belt for this). Grinding urethane at that soft durometer can sometimes load up belts, these belts never load up, never even close to loading up. It makes a real clean cut of coarse fluffy powdered urethane.

Have bought these a few times and they were initially very good. Now they aren't they wear out very quickly. The fabric part of the belt seems fine, but the abrasives go away as quick as any cheap belt I've used. Not going to purchase these again.

I ordered these ceramic belts to replace the zirconia I had on the sander. The price is 50% higher but when I called the factory they said I should get 2x or 3x the belt life. I've only been using it today so I can't speak to the longevity yet but it cuts the most dense hardwoods I have in Bubinga and Purple Heart easily.

I have used many different manufactures and Red Label is the best it does not clog last a long time. i bought a 2 pack of 80 grid 6in x48in i am using this on steel tubing with the same belt still. Great product will buy again.

Fast material removal. This belt also doesn't load up and they last. I use a gummy belt cleaner for maintaining but I also throw them in the sink to scrub the backing. Air dry overnight and good as new.

use them in an industrial settling
