Find the Right Belt Sander Belts for Your Project
With a range of sizes, grits and materials available, choosing the correct belt sander belts helps you work more efficiently and achieve better results.
Match the Sanding Belt to Your Sander
The first step is matching the belt to your tool. Sanding belts are not one-size-fits-all so it’s important to check your owner’s manual for the correct dimensions. At Ace you can find belt sander replacement belts in all the most common sizes for your belt sanders.
- 3x21 sanding belts:A popular size for many handheld belt sanders.
- 1x30 sanding belts:Often used on benchtop sanders for smaller projects and sharpening.
- 4x24 sanding belts:A versatile size used on many popular handheld sanders.
- 4x36 sanding belts:A common choice for bench sanders ideal for larger workpieces.
Select the Right Abrasive Material and Grit
Next think about the surface you’re working on and how much material you need to remove.
- Material:We have durable wood sanding belts designed for all types of woodworking projects from initial shaping to final finishing. For tougher jobs, look for metal sanding belts that can handle shaping and cleaning metallic surfaces.
- Grit:The grit number tells you how coarse or fine the abrasive is. Lower numbers (like 60-80 grit) are coarse and remove material quickly. Higher numbers (like 120-220 grit) are much finer. Use fine grit sanding belts for the final steps to create an ultra-smooth surface ready for staining or painting.
