A flexible abrasive tool essential for metal processing, the Sanding Belt consists of abrasive grains (aluminum oxide, silicon carbide) bonded to a pliable substrate (cloth, paper, or foam) using resin or glue. Designed for polishing machines, it performs rough grinding, deburring, and initial surface leveling. Its key advantage lies in flexibility—conforming to complex curved workpieces like automotive components or decorative metal pieces where rigid tools fail.
Substrate elasticity varies: durable cloth handles heavy stock removal, while foam adapts to tight contours. Grits range from coarse for aggressive material removal to fine for surface refinement. Even grain distribution ensures consistent cutting during high-speed operation. This versatility bridges the gap between irregular geometries and efficient material processing, significantly enhancing workflow efficiency in metal finishing applications.
