Choosing sanding belts
- Size first: the belt must match the sander exactly. 75 x 533mm fits most 75mm sanders (Makita 9903, Bosch GBS 75, Einhell TE-BS); 75 x 457mm fits compact 75mm machines; 100 x 610mm fits most 100mm sanders.
- Grit: 40 to 60 for levelling and stripping, 80 to 120 for general flattening, 150 and finer before a finish. Work through the grits rather than jumping.
- Backing: Klingspor LS 309 XH is an aluminium oxide belt on cloth for wood, paint and light metal. CS 311 Y is a heavier polyester cloth belt that stands up to metal. Bosch Best for Wood belts are made for timber and board.
- Glass and stone: the Klingspor CS 321 X 30 x 533mm belt is for glass and stone edges on narrow-belt machines.
