Belt Sanding

sanding wood with Abranet Max Narrow abrasive belt

Sanding With Belts

When sanding with a belt, many things must be considered to get the best result and the highest possible efficiency. The choice of sanding material, for example, is critical, but other factors such as adjustment of sanding unit, sanding speed selection, and handling are also essential. When you choose a belt from Mirka, you can be confident that you will get the most efficient sanding results without comprimising the quality.

 

Introducing...

Ultimax® Black

Ultimax® Black delivers exceptional sanding quality from start to finish. Its patented manufacturing technology and antistatic properties take belt sanding to the next level in longevity and sanding performance thanks to its strength and stability, achieving consistent finishing without the need to adjust machine pressure over time.

Choose the right belt for your surface

Mirka Wide Belt Range

Choosing the appropriate sanding belt can be a challenge. The abrasive must be optimized for the sanding application and surface, otherwise there is a risk of damaging both the surface and the belt sander.

The lifespan of the belt can be prolonged by ensuring that the sanding
equipment is correct and used properly.

  • Adjust the sanding machine correctly
  • Ensure the machine is properly maintained
  • Check that the dust extraction is adequate

Performance through innovation

Ultimax

innovative wide belt

Ultimax wide belts are like no other.

The innovative cavities force air between the surface of the work and the belt which keeps the sanding temperature low, prevents burning and extends the life of the belt.

This innovative new technology, along with the special abrasive grains that are used, gives a longer product life span and reduces material usage per job.
