Actually there is less Ceramic. The higher the number the more Abrasive.I don't know, but I would think it is because there is more ceramic on them.
I never buy 36G belts they are always 2-5 bucks more compared to even 40G belts! I think it's a conspiracy!! LOL!!Unless you have a specific use for a 36 grit belt, I'd suggest giving the 50 grit blaze a try for coarse stock removal.
I've actually been meaning to. I'm going to get a few next time I buy belts.Unless you have a specific use for a 36 grit belt, I'd suggest giving the 50 grit blaze a try for coarse stock removal.
Another big plus is you never have big deep phantom scratches showing up later.I've actually been meaning to. I'm going to get a few next time I buy belts.
I have a 36 grit ceramic belt for my 4" sander. It makes short work of roughing, but it takes ALL of the HP that sander has. It has a 1-1/2HP motor. Really needs more HP to get the most out of it.Another big plus is you never have big deep phantom scratches showing up later.
I do keep a couple 36 grit AO for hogging wood or micarta. That's really the only thing they're good for IMO.
I am playing with the new VSM Actirox belt. Almost $19, but supposed to have a lot longer life than even the Blaze 50. I use the 36 when grinding really thick steel to hog away the excess quickly and then go to the 50.
