    I just added a belt grinder to my studio with the aluminum oxide belts, and my time spent cleaning up forged damascus rings has been cut down in half! They have a long lifespan and keep a nice tooth.

    Been making custom handmade knives since 2009 after collecting for years. Red Label Abrasives is my “go-to” supplier for 2x72 belts, for many years now. They are good quality belts and maintain affordable pricing.

    Used to use one for your competitors. Switched to you because I was tired getting so many wobbly belts. I use your flexible belts for metal grinding as well as finishing the handles - Wood, carbon fiber, g10, micarta etc. The belts are excellent. I also will take a flexible belt and cut it, then use it to hand-sand blades if I need a more precise finish. The fabric backing holds up better than standard paper backed sand paper.

    I have switched from Combat Abrasives to Red Label and have no regrets. Red Label prices are competitive. The products are fully as good. And as I live in Michigan where Red Label is located, I receive my orders quickly. My recent purchase was for finishing belts: 600, 800 and 1,000 grit. They are being put to good use, as on these four Every Day Carry knives. I call them my 95/95 EDC, as they will do 95% of what 95% knife users need do. Michael Martin Soli Deo Gloria Knife Works

    More Grain Coverage For Faster Material Removal

    Approximately 90-95% of the surface of a closed-coat aluminum oxide sanding belt is covered in abrasive grains. This extensive grain coverage provides a higher cut rate compared to open-coat aluminum oxide. You'll be able to sand denser materials like metal and hardwood faster with a closed-coat belt than an open-coat multipurpose belt.
