    Why Choose An Aluminum Oxide Belt?

    Aluminum oxide is considered the workhorse grain of the abrasive industry. It is the most popular abrasive grain because it is both low-cost and effective at removing material. Aluminum oxide is highly friable - the grain fragments with use to provide a sharp cutting surface throughout the lifespan of the belt. Aluminum oxide is a great choice for general use applications. Open coat aluminum oxide belts are very popular amongst woodworkers.

    Open Coat Vs. Closed Coat Aluminum Oxide

    Aluminum oxide belts are available in two different coatings: open and closed coat. The coating refers to how much of a belt’s surface is covered with abrasive grains. Approximately 50-70% of a belt’s surface is covered with abrasive grains for open coat belts. On the other hand, 90-95% of the belt’s surface is covered with abrasive grains for closed coat belts.

    Closed coat aluminum oxide belts cut more aggressively and are designed to sand hard and dense materials like steel and other metals. Open coat aluminum oxide is designed for softer materials and is commonly used for woodworking applications. The additional space between grains allows for more air flow and reduces the likelihood that sanding residue will get stuck between the grains.

    These 6x89” sanding belts are open coat aluminum oxide. If you’re looking to sand metal, we’d recommend our closed coat 6x89” aluminum oxide sanding belts.

      Customer photo review of 6 X 89 Inch Aluminum Oxide Sanding Belts, 2 Pack

      Excellent product Tony, and thanks for reminding me that the belt is ok to run both ways (ignore the the arrow on the belt itself). I use this belt on a Jet 6" x 89" oscillating belt sander almost daily but I have waited to send this review in until I had put some miles on it. Of course this is not my first belt I've gotten from you guys, this is probably the 5th one. I get the 150 grit and it works great, it can hog down when needed and used lightly it can put a nice smooth finish especially on end grain. At first, I thought the belt was defective as it was loose and floppy on the top and tight and smooth in the middle (the bottom has a little slackness as well). First thing I did was flip the belt over and it was the same that way also, so I knew it wasn't the belt. The manual for my sander says most of the settings are not adjustable (except for tracking) but way in the back was a page that talked about the motor plate that was "factory adjusted" but could be adjusted if the tracking was way off. I could adjust the tracking, no problem, from the top adjuster but I thought I would measure the motor/drive pulley's relation to the rest of the machine. Wow! It was way off. I made some shims and adjusted the bolts and now it's about 90% corrected. What a difference! I was in the middle of a project and had to get back to it, but soon I'm going to get serious and make it perfect. Just wanted to share that with you so you could get a feel what your belts are doing out in the world! Thanks again for a great product. BTW, when are you going to come out with 5" 8 hole hook and loop sanding disks? Here's my website, check out what I do here. Your belts are mission critical to our quality work, couldn't do it without you. https://www.longcraftsmandesigns.com/ All my best, Shields

      Shared this photo on Instagram, #bigsawproductions Run your sandpaper on a oscillating edge sander. Good job.

      Your company got recommended to me by a friend. I was looking for some 6”x89” belts for my edge sander. I ordered some from you to try. The initial conformation said it would take 4-5 day to manufacture. I ordered them on a Tuesday night and they were shipped the next day and I had them Friday. So you must of had some in stock. The belts fit perfect. I will be ordering more. Thanks for making a great product and for being a Michigan based company

      I have been using Red Label Abrasives sanding belts on my 6x89" sander for a couple of years now. They outlast the OEM name brand belts that are more expensive. The use oof a good abrasive sanding cleaning stick periodically makes them last even longer. I would recommend this product.

      Always great service, quick delivery even at the holidays.

      These belt provide great help in my wood work. I do a lot of CNC work, and they provide a useful way of either finish up/ getting my stock ready, or just all around project work. My son is a Luthier, and uses the belt sander for a lot of his work in our shop.

      Belts are lasting and doing the job.

      Had purchased a used Powermatic Edge sander. Came with several belts but they were old and broke quite rapidly (ugh). Ordered this and this belt has been a workhorse. It has taken my building of cutting boards to a new level. The belts (have only used one) appear to be very well made.

      Great product and customer service

      We have used Red Label Abrasive products for years and continue to do so because of the quality of the product and competitive pricing.
