FAQs
Can these belts be used on metal surfaces?
Yes, the aluminium oxide grain and synthetic resin bond are suitable for grinding and smoothing both wood and metal.
Will these belts fit any belt sander?
No, they are specifically sized for 75 x 533mm belt sanders. Always check your sander's manual for size requirements.
Which grit should I use first?
Start with the 60G for heavy material removal, progress to 80G for smoothing, and finish with 100G for a fine surface.
How do I know which way the belt should rotate?
Most sanding belts are bidirectional, but check the inside of the belt for an arrow indicating the direction of rotation if applicable.
Are these belts washable?
No, these are not designed to be washed. Using water or solvents will damage the bond and the abrasive coating.
Why is the belt burning the wood?
This usually indicates the belt is worn out or you are applying too much pressure. Switch to a fresh belt and let the tool do the work.
Troubleshooting
Belt slips or drifts off the rollers
Adjust the tracking knob on your sander while the machine is running slowly to center the belt on the rollers.
Belt tears during operation
Ensure the tension lever is properly locked and that you are not applying excessive downward pressure, which can cause heat buildup.
Rapid clogging of the belt
Use a lighter touch and consider using a sanding belt cleaner stick to remove accumulated debris from the grit.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To install these belts, first ensure your sander is disconnected from the power source. Release the tensioning lever on your 75 x 533mm belt sander, slide the old belt off, and center the new Irwin belt on the rollers. Once seated, re-engage the tension lever and briefly run the sander to ensure the belt tracks correctly; adjust the tracking knob if the belt drifts to one side.
For care, store these belts in a cool, dry environment. Moisture can degrade the resin bond, and extreme temperatures can affect the belt's flexibility. Avoid folding the belts, as creasing will damage the abrasive surface and create uneven marks on your project. If a belt becomes clogged with dust during use, a rubber sanding stick can be used to clear the pores and extend the life of the abrasive grain.
