hi guys,
i hate that this is my first posting here on the forum and i am already mooching... to be fair, i've been lurking for quite some time already, and have just been waiting until i feel like i've got some work that's worth showing before i jump in. unfortunately that has not happened yet, so instead i'm looking for some specific info on sanding belts.
i've got a KMG grinder on the way, that i will be pairing up with a motor and VFD that i got from wayne coe. i'm sitting here thinking that i'll be all set to do some grinding pretty soon and then i came to the obvious realization that i neither have any belts, nor do i have ANY inkling of what belts to buy.
i have logged some hours on a bader grinder at a local guy's house, so i am sort of familiar with what the setup there was like, but i was hoping to get some advise on specific belt progressions that people are using. i have been to the sites that people usually recommend, so i know WHERE to get stuff, i just really don't know WHAT. silicone carbide? aluminum oxide? ceramic? etc... i swear... i thought researching which GRINDER to get was confusing.
any help would be tremendously appreciated. i promise i will try to contribute and share here, and not be a complete leech!
thanks
