3M Trizact 2 X 72 Inch Sanding Belts A30 (P800), A16 (P1200), A6 (P2500) Grit, 3 Pack Assortment

I have ordered these before, and they are consistently the only belts that I use to sharpen knives. These, and a leather belt will produce "super sharp" blades with a chrome like polished finish on the edge. The have never failed in quality, and "super sharp" is just one of the descriptions I get from my customers. I make leather goods, and sharpen knives. I sharpen gut hooks to a fine edge along with a knife as a free bonus for buying a custom sheath and I have never had an unhappy customer. These belts are the best.

I use these for final machine work in blacksmithing and bladesmithing. I have used the finest "grit" of these to sharpen our very expensive Japanese kitchen knives to a scalpel edge. Very nice. I wish they didn't cost so much but they are worth the money for doing high-quality work.

I really like these belts. I'm using them to smooth and polish metal after grinding to 220 grit with other belts.They're really cool-running, and the abrasive has lasted far longer than I expected. They just keep cutting! The finish from the A6 belt is really nice, well past satin but not quite to mirror. After these belts, buffing is not much work.

These belts are high quality and long lasting but the joint is very thick and produces a lot of chatter if used with a platen which will result in pits in the metal being ground. Really only useful for slack belt grinding.

The abrasive belt functions as advertised, I had no issues using it, seems to be of good quality.

I use these belts on my belt grinder to remove the scratches left from the 400 grit belt. Start with the A30 (800 grit) then go to the A16 (1200 grit) and finish with the A6 (2500 grit). You will have a finish ready for buffing afterwards. They can be used over and over again. Just don’t let them get too hot. You can use a water mist on your work to help control heat, just don’t get it too wet.

Great belts, as usual. These belts same me countless hours of hand sanding. Other finishing fine belts load up, and heat the steel. These seem to last at least 4 times as much. Just remember to never expose your finishing belt to rust ot mill scale. I won't buy anything else for my shop.

I had an issue with my order so I contacted the company Red Label Abrasives directly to avoid Evilzon all together and was shocked with the awesome customer service from Red Label Abrasives. Remember that name. So far I have sharpened every knife in the house and can,t even tell that the belts have been on my machine. These belts are not to be used with a hard platten as the splice tape is thicker than the belt itself. These are really great quality belts sold by a top notch company. I will and already have made more purchases from Red Label Abrasives. Great Products and Great Company.
