Bosch Professional Sanding Belts - X440 - 100 x 610mm - G80

The X440 G80 belt is best for removing material quickly from wooden surfaces or old paint and varnish. It's excellent for initial rough sanding and preparing surfaces.

The G80 grit is considered coarse and is optimized for material removal. For fine finishing, you would typically need to move to much finer grit belts (e.g., G120, G180, G240 and higher).

Semi-friable aluminium oxide is an abrasive material that fractures during use, creating new sharp edges. This self-sharpening action ensures consistent performance and a longer lifespan compared to non-friable abrasives.

This coating ensures that the abrasive grains are evenly distributed and have space between them. This allows dust to be shed more effectively during sanding, preventing the belt from clogging and maintaining its cutting ability.

No, the X440 Best for Wood and Paint is specifically designed for wood and coated surfaces. Using it on metal could damage the belt and provide poor results.

The dimensions are 100mm in width and 610mm in length.

Check your belt sander's manual or specifications for the required belt size. This belt requires a 100 x 610mm size.

Adjust the tracking knob/screw on your belt sander to center the belt. Ensure the belt is correctly seated on the rollers and that the sander is held flat against the workpiece.

Ensure you are using the correct grit for the material. Avoid applying excessive pressure, which can overheat and clog the belt. Clean dust from the belt periodically if possible.

Verify that the belt is compatible with the direction of your sander's rotation and that you are not exceeding the sander's recommended speed. Ensure the belt is not rubbing against any part of the sander housing.
