What sanding belt spec works for high-volume component finishing in precision machining?

Ceramic abrasive belts in 120 to 180 grit give consistent cut rate and long belt life in high-cycle applications. Ceramic self-sharpens under load, critical in production environments where performance variation between belt changes is costly. Call (905) 430-1777 and we’ll work through the spec for your machine and parts.
