49888 - Pferd 6x48 Inch 60 Grit Aluminum Oxide Cloth Sanding Belt

High-Performance Industrial Sanding Belt

The Pferd 49888 Sanding Belt is a premium abrasive tool designed to meet the rigorous demands of industrial maintenance, repair, and operations (MRO) environments. Measuring 6 inches in width and 48 inches in length, this belt is engineered to fit standard stationary belt sanders found in machine shops, fabrication plants, and manufacturing facilities. The belt features a high-quality aluminum oxide grain, which is renowned for its toughness and durability. Unlike friable grains that break down quickly, aluminum oxide maintains its cutting edges longer, providing a consistent finish and sustained material removal rate throughout the life of the product.

With a coarse 60 grit rating, this belt is specifically optimized for heavy stock removal, dimensioning, and aggressive surface preparation. It excels at stripping away rust, scale, and old paint, as well as leveling uneven surfaces on both ferrous and non-ferrous metals. The abrasive grain is securely bonded to a heavy-duty cloth backing using a resin-over-resin bond. This construction ensures that the belt can withstand the high heat and tension generated during continuous industrial use without stretching or tearing prematurely. The robust backing also provides the necessary support for the grain to fracture controllably, exposing new sharp edges for continuous cutting action.

Pferd is a trusted name in the abrasives industry, known for manufacturing tools that deliver safety, performance, and economic value. This sanding belt exemplifies that commitment, offering a reliable solution for general-purpose grinding. Whether you are deburring machined parts, chamfering edges, or preparing stock for finishing, the Pferd 49888 delivers the consistency required for professional results. Its versatility extends to woodworking applications as well, making it a valuable inventory item for multi-disciplinary workshops.
