Abrasive Belt A closed loop of coated abrasive cloth, paper or film that ranges in size from a tiny 1/4" wide all the way up to 60" wide and of any length needed to fit on a sander. Also is referred to as a sanding belt. Abrasive Planing Rough sanding of glued-up wood panels to remove wood and even out the surface to prepare it for intermediate sanding. Alumina ZirconiaAlumina Zirconia mineral is a mixture of zirconium oxide dissolved in aluminum oxide at molten temperatures. Coated abrasives use a micro-crystalline structure form of this mineral that is characterized as sharp, hard an extremely tough. Because of the structure and extreme toughness, smaller particles of grain break off in use and at a much slower rate than standard aluminum oxide. It produces superior performance on a wide variety of materials of both high and low tensile strength under grinding pressures.
A special treatment added to coated abrasives for woodworking which reduce static electricity buildup and allows efficient dust collection. This facilitates dust-free workpieces, cleaner machines and longer belt life. Cloth Backing Cloth is the most popular backing for abrasive sanding belts.
Fiber backings consist of multiple bonded layers of resin impregnated paper. They are tough and strong for use on resin fiber discs. Paper Backings Different weight papers are used for backings on sandpaper sheets, rolls, discs and some sanding belts. A, B, C, D, E and F are the common weights used, with A & B being the lightest and most flexible (typically used on sheets), C & D weights are stronger and less flexible so are typically used on discs and E & F weights are the strongest paper backing and typically used for discs and belts where high resistance to tearing is required. Filling of the spaces between abrasive grains on a coated abrasive with the product you are grinding (i.e. soft woods or metals). This results in a decrease in stock removal and rate of cut. Potential remedies include using an open coat abrasive where the grains are spaced farther apart to allow material particles room to fall back out, selecting an abrasive with a lubricant or stearate additive or top coat, adding a lubricant like FoxFire Grinding Lubricant to your sanding process, incorporating a less aggressive contact wheel or increasing your sander speed. Synthetic abrasive mineral that is produced in electric furnaces to achieve a high degree of hardness and it's glossy black color. Due to it's brittle characteristics, it fractures into sharp sliver-like wedges having cutting edges that permit rapid stock removal. |
