Overview
Belt grinding or finishing has many advantages over the use of conventional grinding wheels.
It is possible to remove material up to 5 times faster than the equivalent grade of grinding wheel with far less heat.
The electrostatic process used in the manufacture of an abrasive belt ensures that the sharp side of each piece of
grit is facing outwards on the belt thus giving cleaner, smoother and faster cutting. The flexing of the belt has a self
cleaning action and also it does not overheat, making it more suitable to any application where heat could damage
the work, for example, grinding leather, plastics, tool sharpening etc. Select the correct belt for the application, see
Table 2.
Disc grinding is a very useful and versatile part of the attachment. It is very useful for dressing small castings and
components, patterns, models, etc., often eliminating costly machining.
