Our 2 1/2x 48 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.

Customer Reviews (4.2 / 5 · 5 reviews)

Ellie R. ★★★★★

These cut through oak way faster than the aluminum oxide belts I used before, and the 2 1/2 x 48 size fits my older belt sander perfectly. I run them on lighter passes for finishing and they still hold up without burning the wood.

Amelia ★★★★★

I was a bit worried about heat buildup on some thin steel I'm finishing, but these silicon carbide belts run surprisingly cool with light pressure. The friable grit keeps cutting without loading up, and six belts in the pack means I'm not constantly reordering.

Victoria ★★★★☆

The silicon carbide cuts fast on my 2 1/2 x 48 belt sander, and running it at lighter pressure keeps the wood from burning. Only downside is the 6 pack goes quicker than I expected on bigger jobs.
