These are excellent cutting, non clogging, long lasting belts. I am running hundreds of board feet through before a change is required.

These may cost a bit more but they last and save time not to mention money. Use them to remove material that has not been coated with any type of VOC poly or paint and they will outlast other types of belts. They are too good to use in a situation where heat and goo will clog the grit . Better to use a cheap belt first then go to these for efficient quality removal. Clean the belt often with a belt cleaner especially if you think it is getting so hot that it is melting the finish instead of abrading it.

This sander is not much of a work horse. I sanded about 30 boards and the cheaply made pad already wore out. Which became a big problem due to the fact that the screws holding that pad down are not inset in the unit, resulting in gouges in the wood. Very disappointed.
