Product Details, Specifications, and Technical Information
Benchmark Abrasives 1/2" x 18" Zirconia Sanding Belts are MADE IN USA. Each belt is made with a durable polyester backing that can support both wet and dry sanding applications. Bi-directional tape joints allow our belts to be run in either direction. Suitable for a multitude of applications, especially when deburring, shaping, weld removal, dimensioning, finishing, and tool and blade sharpening.
Our belts are made with premium zirconia alumina grains adhered to cloth backing that meets strict European standards, providing both long life and precision cuts. They are designed for use on ferrous metals, composite materials, wood, plastics, and other metals.
Zirconia grains have a self-sharpening property and stand up to higher heat and pressure than Aluminum Oxide (A/O), thus making Zirconia the go-to option, providing excellent stock removal that gives you more bang for your buck.
