Grit Equivalents Of Our Surface Conditioning Belts

Non-woven belts aren’t rated by grit, because there technically isn’t any grit on the belt. Nevertheless, you can expect certain surface conditioning belts to work similar to certain grit sizes. Below are the grit equivalents of our surface conditioning belts. 

  • Medium (Maroon) is equivalent to P150-P180
  • Fine (Blue) is equivalent to P240-P280

What Are Surface Conditioning Belts & What Are They Used For?

Non-woven belts and surface conditioning belts are terms used interchangeably that refer to the same type of belt. If you're familiar with Scotch-Brite belts, then you're already familiar with non-woven belts (those belts are 3M's version of non-woven belts). Surface conditioning or non-woven belts are used to deburr, clean, blend, and finish contours, edges on irregular aluminum, stainless steel, or steel surfaces.  

Surface conditioning belts are commonly used in knife making to achieve an even, satin finish on blades. You’ll end up saving a lot of time over trying to hand sand a mirror finish. 

If you’re using surface conditioning belts for the first time, you’ll want to keep a few things in mind. First, you’ll want to use light to medium pressure with these belts. The coarse belts especially require light pressure. If you apply too much pressure, you’ll remove too much material too fast. You’ll also want to follow a proper grit sequence from coarse to medium to fin and super fine.

Customer Reviews (4.6 / 5 · 5 reviews)

Hazel I. ★★★★★

Finally stopped wasting time with cheap belts that fray after a few minutes. These non-woven ones held up beautifully on a brushed aluminum job, and the surface finish was impressively consistent from start to finish.

James ★★★★★

Took these to a job smoothing out aluminum panels, and they held up way longer than my usual rolls—the non-woven surface kept its grit even after heavy use. The 3 x 79 inch size fit my sander perfectly, and the finish on irregular edges came out clean without any snagging.

Robert A. ★★★★★

These belts chew through stainless steel burrs without loading up, and the 3 x 79 size fits my sander perfectly. The non-woven surface leaves a consistent satin finish that I haven't gotten from other discs.
