How To Select Grits

Red Label Abrasives offers grits ranging from 24 grit all the way up to 800 grit. Choosing the right grit sequence for your project is critical to the outcome of your finished piece. Using the wrong grit or skipping grits in a sequence can result in an uneven finish, visible scratch patterns, or too much stock removal. Sometimes you can still achieve a great finish skipping grits, but it takes more time and energy to do so (and we know that time is money). 

Every maker has their own preferred grit progression. We’ve outlined the different grit ranges and their uses below, so that you can determine which grits you may want to add to your bundle. 

• Coarse (P8-P80): Coarse grits are commonly used for initial stock removal and the stripping of paints and varnishes. 
• Medium (P100-P220): Medium grits are used for final shaping, prepping materials for paints and stains, honing, and sharpening. 
• Fine (P240+): Fine grits are used for both sharpening and polishing. 

Types Of Belts Available To Bundle

In addition to our popular standard EdgeCore ceramic belts, you can also add specialty belts to your bundle. Below is an overview of the specialty belts you can add to your bundle along with their uses. 

• EdgeCore Ceramic Belts: Thanks to advanced abrasive technology, our newest ceramic material delivers maximum cut rate, longevity, and cooler grinding temps. Ideal for high pressure grinding, EdgeCore ceramic micro-fractures during use, continuously revealing fresh abrasive grain. The versatility of our EdgeCore belts make them a great choice for knife makers, blacksmiths, welders, or anyone working with metals.
• EdgeCore Flex Ceramic Belts: Our EdgeCore Flex Ceramic Belts contain the same great cut rate and longevity you’ve come to expect from our standard EdgeCore belts. However, they also have a flexible backing. The flexible backing allows the belt to conform to the surface of the workpiece. This makes flex belts ideal for sanding curved surfaces. These belts can easily create a smooth, uniformed finish on a curved surface.
• Aluminum Oxide J Flex Cotton Belts: Our aluminum oxide J flex belts are produced with a  durable and lightweight J-weight cloth backing. These belts are designed specifically for metal sanding, but they can also be used for edge work on profiling handles. 
• Scalloped Aluminum Oxide J Flex Cotton Belts: Scalloped belts possess the distinguished feature of having wavy edges as opposed to straight edges. The curved edges of the belt allow you to more easily sand curved edges without accidentally digging into the workpiece. Scalloped belts are often used to remove burrs from knife edges and sand the curves of knife handles. 
• Surface Conditioning Belts: Surface conditioning belts are non-woven belts that are commonly used for deburring, cleaning, blending, and contouring on irregular aluminum, stainless steel or steel surfaces. There technically isn’t grit on the belt, so belts aren’t categorized by grit. Coarse is equivalent to P120-P150. Medium is equivalent to P150-P180. Fine is equivalent to P240-P280 and super fine is equivalent to P1000-P2000. 
• Prizma Structured Grain Belts: PRIZMA structured grain technology delivers consistent, long-lasting results up to 1000G on a X-wgt backing. Elimate belt bump in extra fine grits. Triangular cone shaped abrasive material continually exposes new surfaces, ensuring a consistently high-quality finish and uniform coating. PRIZMA is designed for dry applications with medium pressure and excels in extending product life due to its superior dust prevention treatment.

  Ideal for knife makers and metalworkers, PRIZMA is perfect for stainless steel and aluminum surface finishing.

  
  
• Compact Grain Aluminum Oxide Belts:

  Finally, a fine grit sanding belt without the dreaded ‘belt’ bump when used on platens and hard contact wheels. Don’t let the aggressive looking material fool you. Our compact grain aluminum oxide VSM sanding belts are designed specifically for fine finishing of metal, providing a more even scratch pattern and uniform finish. Compact grain belts promise 3-5 times the lifespan of conventional abrasives, characterized by larger clusters of stacked grains that deliver superior cutting efficiency and heightened material removal rates in contrast to traditional abrasive products. The heavy-duty Y-weight backing can handle spritzing but is not fully waterproof. The belts can be attached to a knife belt sander, benchstand grinder, portable belt sander, or backstand belt grinder.

  IMPORTANT NOTE: These belts must be ‘broken-in’ before use! Take a scrape piece of metal and very lightly and uniformly press into the belt while running. This only requires a few full revolutions to ensure a consistent and uniform surface. Periodically break in belt during use to maintain a uniform cutting surface.
