Frequently Asked Questions

  • Q: What is the advantage of a flexible sanding belt over a rigid belt?
    A: Flexible cloth-backed belts conform to curved and irregular surfaces, making them ideal for sanding contoured stone shapes, sculptures, and cabochons where a rigid belt would leave flat spots or miss curved areas.
  • Q: What abrasive type is best for sanding hard stone?
    A: Silicon carbide is the standard choice for hard stone sanding. Diamond-coated cloth belts last significantly longer and are preferred for production lapidary work on very hard or abrasive materials.
  • Q: Can flexible sanding belts be used wet?
    A: Yes — wet sanding with water is recommended for stone and lapidary applications. It reduces heat, extends belt life, and produces a better surface finish. Ensure your belt sander is rated for wet use.
