Overview:

The Silverline (60 Grit) Coarse Electric Sander Sanding Belts (308931) are built for fast, controlled sanding and surface preparation on belt sanders. Made with durable aluminium oxide abrasive fully resin bonded to a tough X-weight cloth backing, these belts offer strong cutting performance and good wear life for regular workshop and site use. The coarse 60 grit grade is ideal for stripping and levelling work where you want rapid removal but slightly more control than very coarse belts. Suitable for sanding wood, paint, varnish, plastics, plaster and light metal, they’re designed to fit 76mm x 533mm electric belt sanders. Each belt features an overlap joint with extra top-skive to help reduce chatter for smoother running.

Silverline 76mm x 533mm 60 Grit Sanding Belts – Key FAQs

• What is 60g best used for on a belt sander?
  60g is coarse and ideal for rapid sanding and preparation, such as removing roughness, levelling timber and stripping coatings before refining with medium and fine grits.

• Will these belts fit a 75mm x 533mm belt sander?
  Many tools are listed as 75mm (3") and use the same belt size as 76mm x 533mm. Always check your current belt or tool manual to confirm your sander uses 533mm length belts in the 3" width class.

• What does X-weight cloth backing do?
  X-weight cloth backing improves strength and tear resistance, helping the belt cope with pressure and edge work without splitting.

• Why does a semi open coat finish matter?
  Semi open coat leaves space between abrasive grains to help reduce loading, which can keep the belt cutting effectively for longer on dusty materials.

• What is an overlap joint with top-skive?
  It reduces the bump at the belt join, helping the belt run smoother with less chatter for improved control and surface finish.

• How can I make sanding belts last longer?
  Use light pressure, keep the belt moving, and clean it when it loads up. A belt cleaning block can remove clogged debris and help restore cutting performance.

You can extend the life of your discs by using a sanding disc and belt cleaning block this removes clogging simply and efficiently.
