OVERVIEW

Premium Linear Finishing with VSM Abrasives

The VSM 106591 Drum Belt is a high-performance abrasive solution designed for professional metalworkers and fabricators who demand precision in surface conditioning. Measuring 5-3/8 inches in width and 11-5/8 inches in length (circumference), this belt is engineered to fit standard 3-1/2 inch diameter expanding rubber drums commonly found on linear finishing machines and burnishers. VSM is renowned globally for its advanced abrasive technologies, and this fine grit belt exemplifies their commitment to quality, delivering a consistent and uniform finish that is essential for high-end fabrication work.

This specific belt features a "Fine" grit rating, making it the ideal choice for the final stages of metal preparation. Whether you are blending minor imperfections, removing light oxidation, or establishing a classic satin finish on stainless steel appliances and fixtures, this belt provides the control and consistency required. The abrasive grain is bonded securely to a durable backing that withstands the heat and tension of continuous operation, ensuring that the belt maintains its integrity and cutting performance throughout its lifespan. This reduces downtime associated with frequent belt changes and ensures that every pass yields the same high-quality result.

Industrial applications for the VSM 106591 include the food and beverage industry, pharmaceutical equipment manufacturing, and architectural metalwork where surface aesthetics are paramount. The belt's width allows for efficient coverage of large flat surfaces or square tubing, helping operators achieve a linear grain structure that matches existing factory finishes. Compatible with a wide range of materials including stainless steel, aluminum, and non-ferrous metals, this VSM drum belt is a versatile addition to any professional finishing toolkit.

FAQ

This belt is designed to fit linear finishing tools (burnishers) equipped with a 3-1/2" diameter x 5-3/8" width expanding rubber drum.

Fine grit typically refers to an abrasive grade suitable for finishing, blending, and creating satin patterns, rather than heavy stock removal. It is often comparable to 180-280 grit or a fine non-woven grade.

Yes, this VSM belt is suitable for use on aluminum, as well as stainless steel and mild steel. For aluminum, ensure you monitor heat buildup to prevent loading.

Most standard abrasive drum belts are designed for dry use, though some can handle light mist. It is best to check the specific backing type, but generally, these are used dry for metal finishing.

Slide the belt over the deflated or stationary rubber drum. When the tool is powered on, the centrifugal force expands the rubber drum, locking the belt in place.

The belt measures 5-3/8 inches in width and 11-5/8 inches in length (circumference), designed to fit a 3.5-inch diameter drum.

A Fine grit belt is better suited for removing light scratches and refining the surface. For deep scratches, you should start with a Coarse or Medium grit belt before stepping down to Fine.

Yes, VSM is a leading global manufacturer of high-quality abrasives, known for their durability and consistent finish in industrial applications.
