Do not waste your money on this! Because every belt (20 of 20) separated at the seam in minutes, I am unable to comment on how well they were worn
3/5

In the same project, I had already sanded down about 300 square feet of painted deck using locally purchased belts with no issues, so I know it is Due to out of stock at the local store, I purchased three 10-packs It cost about $0. 25 to keep these on hand and keep the project moving. The third belt pack was returned to the local belt shop after I spent 50 cents per belt. It is evident that these belts are poorly designed and built They are extremely thin and poorly stitched Grit gap of about 1/4 of an inch in the seam that runs almost straight across the belt and its ends overlap -- Thus, the seam is put under a tremendous amount of strain. Making one yourself would be just as easy if you glue connected the ends of a sheet of sandpaper. Belts made in the Philippines are made with no gaps in the grit, the seam is a thin line that runs diagonally, and the ends are sewn together end-to-end A fiber reinforced tape is applied to both ends. These belts started breaking to both directions of the arrow after I tried them in both directions Perhaps a bad batch was used or the print was done in the wrong direction There was no point to it. I went back to the.

Due to the description being truncated, I'm not sure which of three groups of 3 * 18 belt sander belts this is, but all three sets work well, particularly in being true to shape, so I don't have to adjust sander tracking either
4/5

Hard wood is sanded well with all three due to their smooth surfaces regardless of grit, cutting fast and leaving a surprising amount of dust behind. In terms of life, belt Sanders do tend to burn up sandpaper pretty swiftly, but in this situation I am not certain what the relative share of belt vs sander made was (using a It is important to note that none of the belts have broken while in According to my experience with a Craftsman 3*21 sander, these belts are better in that way than the ones I bought at the hardware store.

There is a break in the seam of the belt
3/5

That is fine with me, but I will respond within 10 - 15 minutes I sanded for 20 minutes, and the belt SNAPS at the seam (not even with a lot of pressure). My batch came in a yellow box that had a semi-open top, looked kind of rusty, and was sort of worn out. To date, I've gone through 5 belts so far because they keep breaking. I've only sanded about 10 square feet so far. It is possible that your experience will be better, but I purchased these "around" 9/12/20 and did not receive a good batch. From what I have experienced, I'd suggest trying another brand. These just break at the seams WAY too easily. I could not help but think of this
Sander The Black and Decker 7 is a powerful tool.

Work at a coarse level
5/5

Although the Red Devil Heavy Duty scraper did a fantastic job, it still has its limits. It made sense to me to use the belt sander on the wooden top to make it truly usable as a garage workbench. In short order, I set to work and completed the order as promised. Having always found that the belt sander leaves wood a bit smoother than I thought it would, I ordered fine paper, 80 grit, to get through the mess that was left by the belt sander. My astonishment is that the sanding process took place in such a short period of time and only used a single belt. This top looks like new wood, getting ready to be finished, but it is not as smooth as I would like it to be. The paper is a coarse 80 grit. I strongly recommend these belts, and I can't speak highly enough about Having now ordered a pack of 120 grit belts to improve the finish on the wood, I am more comfortable with the resulting finish.

The deck needed to be sanded, so I purchased these and powertech 40 grit
3/5

The least you can do is have a B&B With the D Dragster sander, which has a small roller at the front, the belts will begin to break as soon as they heat up. It is true that the Powertechs can snag and eventually break, but they last several times longer than the Duratechs. To be continued. (Next, I'll try some 3M's.

This product is made in the United States Located in Connecticut
5/5

For a 3" x 21" sander, these belts seem to be as effective as the "name brand" belts. It is my intent to remember to update this review in the event of a mistake about quality. Compared to the Big Box stores in the area, the price was considerably lower. A close examination of packaging was conducted The fact that the products are made in the U. S. is an important point to I must mention*br I have updated 2 additional months to go I would give it 5 stars since there was no quality issue.

It was quite a while ago that I started buying Bosch belts, but when things got hot, they eventually snapped
5/5

Yesterday, I started using these 36 grit belts and they have held up quite well. Although they eventually filled with glue, varnish, and dust, they did not snap. Based on my experience, I bought sanding ranges from other manufacturers to fill out my.

The lapping joints are strong, so I bought them for that reason
5/5

After doing some very heavy sanding, I noticed that the belts caused the adhesive in some much more expensive flush-mount faucets to dissolve. Due to the way Norton belts were joined, belts would fail well before Norton abrasives were worn out Compared to low-quality belts, these IVY belts lasted several times longer in this high-quality environment The belt joints on several of them never failed to break down under temperatures over 100 degrees Fahrenheit. (In my opinion, the belt joints in the IVY's "thump" a bit, but that beats catastrophic failure.
