49464 - Pferd 6x48 Inch 36 Grit Al-Ox Bench Sanding Belt

Industrial Grade 6x48 Sanding Belts for General Fabrication

In the demanding environment of industrial fabrication and maintenance workshops, the reliability of your abrasive consumables directly impacts productivity. The Pferd 49464 Sanding Belt is engineered to meet these challenges, offering a robust solution for stationary belt grinding machines. Measuring 6 inches by 48 inches, this belt fits a wide array of standard benchstand sanders found in machine shops, maintenance departments, and production facilities.

This belt features a high-quality Aluminum Oxide (A) grain. Aluminum oxide is the industry standard for general-purpose grinding due to its toughness and durability. Unlike more friable grains that break down quickly, this tough grain structure withstands the high pressure of heavy stock removal, making it an economical choice for shops processing a mix of materials. The 36 grit specification classifies this as a coarse abrasive, designed specifically for rapid material removal, deburring heavy components, and stripping rust or scale before further processing.

Durability is further enhanced by a heavy-duty cloth backing. Stationary machines exert significant tension on belts; a weak backing can lead to stretching, tracking issues, or premature snapping. Pferd has utilized a sturdy cloth substrate that maintains its dimensional stability under load, ensuring consistent tracking and safety for the operator. The resin bonding system securely anchors the abrasive grains to this backing, resisting the heat generated during continuous grinding operations.

For procurement managers and shop foremen, the Pferd 49464 represents a versatile inventory item. It is universally applicable for working on steel, cast iron, non-ferrous metals, and even wood or plastics. This versatility reduces the need to stock multiple specialized belts for general maintenance tasks. Whether you are chamfering bar stock, squaring up tube ends, or removing flash from castings, this belt delivers consistent performance and the quality assurance associated with the Pferd brand.
