How Do Scalloped Edge Belts Work?

A standard sanding belt with a straight edge may cut into curved edges in unintended ways if you’re sanding around them. Scalloped belts have curved edges, which allow them to more naturally sand around curved edges. It’s important to note that these belts are designed to use the slack of the belt. They shouldn’t be used if you are grinding against a platen or contact wheel.

The amount of slack you add to your belt will also affect how it performs. Tighter slack will create narrow lines while loose slack will allow for more flexible contouring. Scalloped edge belts are very popular for removing burrs from knife edges and sanding curves to finish knife handles. 

Do These Scalloped Belts Work With All 2 X 72 Grinders?

Yes, our 1" and 2”x72” aluminum oxide scalloped sanding belts are designed to work with all 2”x72” grinders. Popular grinders that our belts have been used on include the Wilton Square Wheel Grinder, Black Fox Pro, Bob Dozier Grinder, Brodbeck Ironworks grinders, KMG Industrial Belt Grinder, Reeder Grinders, and Hardcore Belt Grinder.

Joshua ★★★★★

These scalloped belts grab the steel way better than my old flat ones did, especially when I need to work a 2-inch surface without overheating the workpiece. The aluminum oxide grit is holding up nicely through a few knives so far, and the 3-pack means I won't be reordering for a while.

Jacob Z. ★★★★★

The scalloped design really helps with heat buildup on longer sanding passes, and the 1" width is perfect for getting inside those tight recessed areas on my spindle work.

Jason ★★★★★

The scalloped edge on these belts is a real game-changer for slack grinding into tight corners—it bites without loading up like my old flat belts did. I grabbed the 1x72 for recessed areas and the 2x72 for general work, and both hold up fine on aluminum. Three in the pack is plenty to get through a
