Draper Aluminium Oxide Abrasive Belts - 13 X 457Mm - 240 Grit

These belts are made with durable Aluminium Oxide abrasive bonded to a strong cloth backing.

The belts measure 13mm in width and 457mm in length.

240 Grit refers to a finer grit sandpaper, suitable for finishing and light sanding tasks.

These belts are designed for Draper and similar sanders that use 13 x 457mm belts. Always verify your sander's specifications.

The product description mentions packs of 5, with assorted grits (e.g., 2 x 40, 1 x 80, 1 x 120, 1 x 240). Please check the specific product packaging for exact quantities and grit distribution.

While aluminium oxide is a versatile abrasive, these belts are primarily intended for wood and general-purpose sanding. For heavy-duty metal removal, specific metal-cutting abrasive belts might be more suitable.

Use coarser grits (like 40 or 80) for rapid material removal, medium grits (like 120) for smoothing after initial shaping, and finer grits (like 240) for surface preparation before finishing.

Ensure the belt is correctly seated on both rollers and that the tension is properly adjusted. Check for any debris on the rollers. Verify correct belt installation by checking directional arrows.

Check that the correct grit is being used for the material; using too coarse a grit can put excessive strain on the belt. Ensure the belt is not damaged before installation. Confirm proper tension is applied.

Make sure the sanding surface is clean and free of debris. Check that the belt is tracking straight and not wobbling. If using a fine grit for heavy removal, switch to a coarser grit first.

This can indicate excessive tension or a dull belt. Try slightly reducing the tension or check if a new belt is needed.
