1" x 30" 80 Grit Flexible Diamond Sanding Belt – Efficient Polishing & Grinding for Hard Materials

Overview: The 1" x 30" (762mm x 25.4mm) 80 Grit Flexible Diamond Sanding Belt is precision-engineered for standard 1x30 benchtop belt sanders, glass art studio grinders, and portable knife sharpener/grinder attachments. Featuring an electroplated 80-grit industrial diamond coating on a flexible, tear-resistant waterproof backing, it delivers aggressive stock removal, rapid bevel shaping, and clean edge arrising across dense stones, glass, ceramics, and hardened metals.

Key Features

• Aggressive 80 Grit Diamond Layer: Quickly cuts through tough minerals, removes saw marks, and creates precise bevels with minimal micro-chipping.
• Standard 1" x 30" Compatibility: Perfect fit for popular 1x30 belt sanders, lapidary attachments, and wet-grinding setups.
• Reinforced Waterproof Backing: Designed to withstand heavy continuous water flow, chemical coolants, and high mechanical tension.
• Precision Butt-Joint Seam: Smooth, seamless joint prevents chatter and ensures vibration-free tracking at high operating speeds.

Applications

• Lapidary gemstone rough cabbing, mineral pre-forming, and fossil preparation
• Architectural flat glass arrising, stained glass edge trimming, and bottle art grinding
• Hard alloy deburring, carbide tooling touch-up, and ceramic tile profiling
• Hardened steel knife reprofiling and composite material shaping

Operating Guidelines

• Coolant: Use with continuous water flood or coolant spray to flush swarf and maintain free-cutting diamond exposure.
• Tension & Tracking: Ensure proper machine tracking and correct tension before applying heavy operational loads.
• Speed: Recommended surface speed 2,500 to 4,500 SFPM.
