61028 - 6" x 48" Aluminum Oxide Sanding Belt, 80 Grit, X-Weight Cotton Backing

Industrial Grade Aluminum Oxide Benchstand Belt

The 61028 Aluminum Oxide Benchstand Belt is a high-performance abrasive solution designed for versatility and durability in industrial grinding and finishing operations. Measuring 6 inches in width and 48 inches in length, this belt is engineered to fit standard benchstand sanders found in maintenance shops, fabrication facilities, and woodworking environments. The abrasive material consists of a blend of semi-friable (1A-X) and heat-treated (2A-X) aluminum oxide grains. This specific grain composition provides a balance of toughness and sharpness, allowing for efficient material removal while maintaining a consistent cut rate over the life of the belt.

The belt features a closed coat structure, meaning the abrasive grains cover nearly 100% of the backing surface. This high grain density is ideal for applications requiring a finer finish and aggressive cutting action on harder materials. The backing is constructed from X-weight cotton, a heavy-duty cloth material that provides the necessary strength and low-stretch characteristics required for high-tension benchstand sanding. This ensures the belt tracks accurately and resists tearing during heavy grinding operations.

Designed for general-purpose utility, this belt excels on a wide range of materials. It is highly effective on ferrous and non-ferrous metals, including cast iron and aluminum, as well as stainless steel and high-tensile alloys. Additionally, it performs well on both soft and hard woods, making it a truly universal tool for mixed-material workshops. Each package contains 10 belts, shrink-wrapped to protect against moisture and contamination during storage.
