4x21" Industrial Grade Zirconia Grinding Belts
Our industrial grade zirconia sanding belts are a great choice for heavy duty grinding applications. Zirconia’s self-sharpening abrasive grains extend belt life up to 2.5 times longer than aluminum oxide. Zirconia fractures during use, continuously revealing sharp abrasive grain. Its durability makes it a great choice for knife makers, blacksmiths, welders, or anyone working with metals. While it will not match the longevity of ceramic abrasives, zirconia is a cost-effective alternative. These belts will work for both wet and dry applications. They are hand built in the USA.

Zirconia used to be the strongest and most durable abrasive grain before ceramic was introduced into the market. Today, zirconia belts are great mid-range belts that strike the perfect balance between performance and affordability. Zirconia outlasts and outperforms aluminum oxide, especially when sanding metal and hardwood materials. Zirconia is also a more cost-effective alternative to ceramic.
If you’re looking for a good middle ground belt, then our zirconia sanding belts are the right best choice for you. If you’re looking for the best possible belts money can buy, we do recommend ceramic belts. While they are more expensive, ceramic belts also last the longest, which offsets the cost. Red Label also manufactures 4 X 24 inch ceramic sanding belts.
