Premature belt wear or breakage
Verify that the belt is suitable for the material being worked on and that excessive force is not being applied. Ensure the sander is operating at the correct speed for the belt's grit.
Uneven finish on workpiece

Setup, Compatibility & Care
Setup: Ensure the Proxxon RBS/A tube sander or compatible detail belt sander is unplugged before attempting to change the sanding belt. Align the belt with the drive and idler pulleys and slowly rotate the pulleys by hand to seat the belt correctly. Once properly seated, you can plug the tool back in.
Compatibility: These belts are 10mm wide by 330mm long and are designed for the Proxxon RBS/A tube sander. They will also fit other detail belt sanders that accept these specific dimensions.
Care: As abrasive belts are consumable, they do not require specific care. However, ensure the sander's pulleys are clean and free of debris before installing a new belt to maintain optimal performance and belt life. Store unused belts in a dry environment.
