Silverline 218490 Sanding Belt Cleaning Block 150 x 75 x 25 mm

Works brilliant and long lasting

Saved me a ton of money with a belt sander.can highly recommend.

Sanding sheets aren't cheap, unless you buy in big bulk. So anything that helps to prolong their life is a bonus. This seems to do that fairly well. It doesn't get everything off, but it visibly seems to remove a lot of the crud off (for example) the belts on my 4" sander, and it can be used multiple times on the same belt. I think in terms of the cost of this versus the cost of new belts and sheets it's going to work out well.

Sanding sheets or disks inevitably get clogged when used and then need replacing. WRONG! I don’t know why I had never heard of these before but they are so simple and effective in refurbishing the sanding surface so that they don’t need replacing. I haven’t worked out whether they are cheaper than replacing the sanding sheet but they are certainly useful if you don’t have replacements readily available. Also it’s better for the environment as clogged disks aren’t ending up in landfill.

What a surprise.... this actually works and works well. Having had the misfortune of trying other Silverline tools in the past and how incrediably bad they were I was expecting the same from this but in this instance Silverline has actually made something good!This is very easy to use you just touch it lightly up against a sanding belt or disc when the machine is running and it cleans it therefore prolonging the life of the abrasives and improving their cutting efficiency. I use mine on a daily basis and it's still pretty much the same size as when new so I would imagine this block will last me a good few years at least.Take it from someone who has really tested this out in a workshop environment daily for the last month that is definitely well worth the money and works exactly as it should.

Originally bought this for my son for cleaning his grip tape on his skateboard. Lucky for me he stopped using it and now I’ve taken it back. I have a bigger belt cleaner that is more suited for a belt sander but this one is smaller and I use it on my Festool rts400 sander/Mirka deros. It fits in the sander case taking up less room than the bigger belt cleaner and this is handy as the sander case is full of sandpaper. It certainly won’t last as long as the full size belt cleaner but is pretty affective on my orbital sanders and takes up less space. Would I buy it again, I guess I would, it’s a handy little tool accessory.

bought it to try it out,It works very well ,Better than my old tooth brushes .But it wears down quickly so will only use this when i have to for a thorough clean.Have not yet tried it on my drum sander yet

The media could not be loaded. Brilliant! Leaves sanding belt like new. I've tried cleaning my belt sander with plastics before (an old toothbrush for example) but this Silverline block is simply excellent. Cleaning takes seconds and only a little bit is worn from this block, so it will last for a long time. It's a must-have item for conditioning many types of sanding belts, spindles, pads and discs. It may also cut down on the risk of burn which sometimes happens from clogged sanding belts/discs or when the belt/disc spins too fast for the material (eg hardwoods). You'll wonder why you didn't get one of these blocks sooner!
