Hello all - been reading a bit about scotchbrite belts. They sound really useful. I use a cork belt and it works pretty good. From reading it seems like both cork and scotchbrite belts are used much for the same thing - to remove the final grind marks from sanding belt to provide a nice matt finish to the blade.
My question: Which works best - cork or scotchbrite? When using scotchbrite belt, what grit would be your final sanding belt - 220 grit? 400 grit?
AND - of the Medium, Very Fine and Super Fine grades are required. I normally hand sand a blade to 800 grit for a decent matt finish. Would the Medium (maroon) scotchbrite be good as a base for 800 grit hand sanding? I'm thinking to order the medium (maroon) and very fine (blue) belts to try.
Thank to all for any comments.
