Fabric sanding belt 685 x 50 mm - K 180 (10 pieces)

Cloth belts are more flexible, tear-resistant, and tolerant of curvature — suitable for curved surfaces, edges, pipes, and metalwork. Paper belts are more rigid and suitable for flat wood and plastic surfaces. For metal, cloth is always preferable: it better resists the heat generated by friction and does not tear with metal shavings.

180 grit is suitable for finishing on metal and wood: final sanding, removing previous scratches, preparation for painting. Typical materials: stainless steel (finishing), aluminum, solid wood, MDF. Fine grit on metal: reduce pressure to avoid surface overheating. The electrocorundum (Al₂O₃) abrasive cloth in this series maintains its cutting ability longer than paper abrasive of the same grit.

Yes — fabric belts on a roll can be cut with robust scissors or a utility knife. The length of the roll (50 m) allows for belts of any length to be obtained. Always cut perpendicular to the belt's direction of travel to prevent edges from detaching during use.

Aluminum: use belts with a semi-open coat (marked "semi-open coat") and, if possible, apply paraffin wax to the belt to reduce aluminum adhesion. Plastic: reduce speed and work intermittently to avoid overheating the material. A clogged belt does not abrade but only generates heat — it should be cleaned with a wire brush or replaced.
