    Ceramic Sanding Belts

    On a recent visit to my local Lowe's I had need of some sanding belts for a customer project. Upon looking at the what they sell I noticed a new item. It is sanding belts made - or marketed - by Shop Smith (yes, you read that right) with ceramic abrasives. They seemed somewhat pricey but I...

    Shelf Life of Sanding Belts?

    I had four Klingspor sanding belts (3'x18"), two 150 grit & two 220 grit, for about ten years. Today I finally got around to using them. After 30 seconds of sanding, each of the belts came apart at the belt seam. :eusa_doh:No injury occurred, unless you count bewilderment. :roll: Note: this...
