Abrasive belts are tools used for sanding and polishing metal surfaces, wood, plastic, and other materials. These belts consist of a base made of canvas, paper, or fiberglass onto which abrasive grains of various sizes and hardness are applied.
Abrasive belts are used in many industrial sectors such as woodworking, metallurgy, automotive, and aerospace manufacturing. They are also used in the artistic field for sculpting and creating artwork.
The choice of the most suitable abrasive belt depends on the processing needs: a coarser grit is used for removing large amounts of material, while a finer grit is ideal for achieving a smooth and uniform finish.
Abrasive belts are available in various sizes and shapes and can be used both by hand and with sanding machines. It is important to use the correct abrasive belt for the specific processing task, as using an inappropriate grit can damage the surface being worked on.
