Hey KnifeDog's and Doggette's
I just received some sample belts of a new one from Norton.
The Ceramic Alumina Plus Y-wt in 2 x 72" Scott at www.tru-grit.com/ just ent these to me and my initial findings after grinding three Blades are EXCELLENT.
They out cut the Deerfos and are at a lower price too!
36G- $4.85
50 G -$3.85
60 Grit- $3.55
and the 120 Grit is quoted at $2.95 but Scott doesn't have them yet.
I used a 36G the the 60 Grit to rough grind three of my Rhino Chops which have about 1/2 a Acre of surface at 6" X 3 3/4" x 1/8"..
These are what I've been looking for to replace the Blaze. NO Black Crud Here!
They have plenty of life after the 3 knives and the best comparison is that the cut about like the Norton Hogger Red Ceramic R61Y. Maybe a tad less in longevity. At half the price.
At this price, These belts are the best deal out there as of now that I know of?
also these grind the steel evenly. The Norzon blue belts tear off the steel and they were harder to get a smooth even grind, for Me.
I will be using them more later today to get a batch of blades ready for heat treat.
I am a happy grinding fool again!:big grin:
