How Sanding Belts are Made
made in the usa
Need help selecting a belt?It all comes from a Jumbo
All belts start as a jumbo roll of the particular material and grit.
- Jumbos have a similar look and size as a roll of carpet
- They are purchased from a handful of global manufacturers
- Converters take the jumbos and manufacture belts, discs, shop rolls, etc.
What is scuffing?
Once material has been cut to the desired yield, the backing material is shaved down where the joint will overlap.
- Scuffing removes millimeters of material of the cloth backing
- This removal allows the addition of tape and/or glue with a flush seam
- The flush seam allows for smooth grinding without chattering as the seam rolls over the contact wheel.
Rule of Twelve
Once the material is cut, scuffed, glued and taped, it’s usually set to a width of twelve inches.
- 12 inches is highly divisible by many widths with little to no waste
- Once a 12″ wide belt is created, it is slit down to the final width
- Loops increase productivity by reducing the scuffing and joint time
