Much more practical and a lot less expensive than wheels, abrasive belts are available in a range of materials and grits. the range has been designed to provide the perfect materials with which to maintain and enhance the cutting edge of practically and edge tool. Use finer grits to sharpen regularly and to produce polished, sharp cutting edges and heavier grits for re-profiling and smoothing out damaged materials.
ALUMINIUM OXIDE: This common abrasive is designed primarily to sharpen carbon steel bench chisels, carving tools and plane irons but will also hone harder high speed steel tools. The material longevity is at the lower end of the abrasives scale we use on our belts, but makes an excellent economical choice. Work your way through grit sizes (heavier grits for the removal of more material) to achieve a fine finish with a 240 grit.
ZIRCONIUM: Designed for HSS tools, drill and router bits this material provides good value. The 60 grit belt will tackle the most damaged surface. Use the 120 to provide a rewarding cutting edge and finish.
CERAMIC: This hardwearing material is a great choice for profiling and re-profiling damaged tools. The heavier 60 grit option is an efficient choice for removing plenty of material, while the finer 120 grit will provide a satisfying finish. Great longevity and highly practical.
TRIZACT: Perhaps our most popular range of belts this robust material is designed to handle the demands of all steels. Not strictly ‘grit sizes’ these belts are built using brick and pyramid abrasive shaping. The highest 3000 ‘grit’ size will sharpen to two microns (the same sharpness as a disposable razor blade) and provide a factory finish on all steels.
DIAMOND: Diamond belts offer the pinnacle in abrasive technology, providing durability and flexibility. Diamond particles are precisely graded to give a long-life solution and are excellent for sharpening the most difficult of materials. They also provide a great all-round alternative and are suitable for any material.
