Our 2 1/2x16 industrial grade silicon carbide belts are the perfect choice for fine finishing with lighter pressure. Silicon carbide is extremely sharp and friable, making it ideal for heat sensitive applications but not as long lasting as other abrasive materials. Its unique characteristics make silicon carbide a great choice for paint removal, sanding between coats, knife scale finishing, lapidary, or any application requiring consistent scratch patterns. Wet or dry applications. Hand built in the USA.

Joshua ★★★★★

Have been using these for metal finishing and the friable silicon carbide stays sharp noticeably longer than standard belts. The 2 1/2 x 16 size fits my sander perfectly, and they handle heat-sensitive materials without burning.

George D. ★★★★★

These belts cut through aluminum oxide residue without loading up, which keeps the heat down on delicate work. The 2 1/2 by 16 inch size is perfect for my small spindle sander, and six belts means I don't have to reorder every week.

Hazel R. ★★★★★

I’ve been using these belts for final passes on metal parts, and the silicon carbide grit stays sharp longer than aluminum oxide does. The friable edge really does help keep the heat down, even when I’m pressing lightly. They’re a solid upgrade from my usual belts for fine finishing.
