5.0 out of 5 stars 3M 81432 4" x 24" 100 Grit Sanding Belts, June 27, 2000

By A Customer

This review is from: 3M 81432 4-Inch x 24-Inch Purple Regalite Resin Bond 100 Grit Cloth Sanding Belt - 5 Pack (Tools & Home Improvement)

I love these belts. The first time I used one was the free one that came with my 4x24 Porter Cable belt sander. I couldn't believe how long it lasted. They are very aggressive yet leave a very smooth, very consistent surface. The 100 grit is perfect for most general sanding tasks. I used to use the "bargain" belts, buy 12 get 12 free. Not any longer. These 3M belts may cost more, but you will save money in the long run because they last many times longer than a standard belt. The best part is when the belt starts wearing out, with the butt splice all you do is turn it around and its almost like putting on a new belt. These belts make sanding go a lot quicker and the results are excellant. There aren't any course scratches caused by large grit particles like you get with cheaper belts. Definitely worth extra money they cost, cheaper in the long run.

Best belts I've ever used. These things greatly outlast cheaper cloth belts, and it especially shows in a high-output environment. Definitely worth the investment, these pay for themselves many times over. Much less grit loss than other belt types, and can be easily de-gummed by running a hardwood across the belt.
