Product Description
This 3-belt set features specialty non-woven abrasive belts designed for metal finishing and knife making. The coarse, medium, and fine grit progression delivers controlled material removal with a uniform scratch pattern.
Application
Materials: stainless steel, aluminum, alloy, wood, synthetic materials, etc
Grinding process: deburring, polishing, polishing, decorating, and wire drawing
Application examples: stainless steel sink, tableware, kitchenware, knives, ovens, plates, aluminum, fishing rods, woodwork, and flat metal
Operation: Mechanical hand grinding, automatic grinding, desktop machine grinding, manual tool grinding, etc.
Non-Woven vs. Standard Aluminum Oxide Belts - Key Differences
1. Abrasive Structure
Non-Woven Belts:
Use nylon fiber webs impregnated with abrasive grains (typically aluminum oxide or silicon carbide). The open, flexible structure provides cooler cutting action and more consistent pressure distribution across irregular surfaces.
Standard Belts:
Feature solid abrasive coatings (aluminum oxide, zirconia, etc.) on cloth backing. The dense grain structure removes material faster but generates more heat.
2. Material Removal Characteristics
Non-Woven:
Gentler cutting - Ideal for final finishing without over-removal
Uniform scratch patterns (ideal for brushed metal finishes)
Less aggressive - Typically removes 0.001-0.003" per pass
Standard Belts:
Aggressive stock removal - Can remove 0.010" or more per pass
Deeper scratches - Requires more progression steps
Better for heavy shaping
3. Heat Generation
Non-Woven:
50-70% cooler operation due to open structure allowing better heat dissipation
Safe for thin metals - Won’t warp knife blades or thin sheet metal
Standard Belts:
High friction can overheat temper-sensitive materials
Often requires coolant for precision work
4. Surface Finish Quality
Non-Woven:
Produces consistent satin finishes (Ra 0.8-2.5μm)
No "dig-in" risks - Maintains even pressure on contours
Standard Belts:
Creates deeper scratches (Ra 3.5-6.0μm at same grit)
Requires more polishing steps to achieve similar finishes
