SELECTING THE CORRECT SANDING
BELT
The belt sander is designed to quickly
remove large amounts of materials.
Selecting the correct sanding belt will allow
the palm belt sander to work more
efficiently and produce the desired surface
finish. Typical sanding belt grades are:
Coarse (40 grit)
Medium (80 and 100 grit)
Fine (120 grit)
Use coarse grade for fast material removal
on rough surfaces and for paint removal.
Use medium grade for initial sanding of
smoother surfaces.
Use fine grade for final sanding of the
surface with the palm belt sander.
Always test the sanding belt on a scrap
workpiece to ensure it will not damage
your actual workpiece.
After completing sanding with the palm belt
sander, a smoother finish will be achieved
by final sanding with an orbital finishing
sander.
