8"x3" 8000Grit Resin Bonded Diamond Sanding Belts

Our Premium Resin-Bonded Diamond Sanding Belts deliver unmatched precision, flexibility, and durability for grinding and polishing across lapidary, glasswork, metal finishing, and ceramic arts.

These flexible diamond belts are specially designed for expandable drums drums and upright belts sanders such as Bee Metal, making them ideal for both professional workshops and hobbyists.

Available Standard Sizes

• 6" × 1.5" Belts (1.5" × 18-15/16") — Fits 6" × 1.5" Expandable Drums
• 6" × 2.5" Belts (2.5" × 18-15/16") — Fits 6" × 2.5" Expandable Drums
• 8" × 3" Belts (3" × 25-7/32") — Fits 8" × 3" Expandable Drums

Construction & Performance

Crafted with high-performance resin-bonded diamond abrasives, these belts provide a controlled, uniform cutting action ideal for shaping, refining, and pre-polishing hard materials.

The resin matrix offers exceptional flexibility, allowing the belt to conform to curved surfaces on stones, glass edges, cabochons, and complex contours. This structure also enhances heat dissipation, resulting in smoother operation, reduced loading, and longer belt life.

Compared with traditional silicon carbide sanding belts, resin-bonded diamond belts maintain sharpness significantly longer and deliver cleaner, more consistent finishes-especially on materials such as agate, jade, quartz, porcelain, crystal glass, and dvanced ceramics.

Material Compatibility

• All varieties of natural stone, including jasper, agate, jade, and turquoise
• Hard lapidary materials such as corundum, topaz, and sapphire
• Glass, stained glass, fused glass edges
• Ceramic, porcelain, and advanced technical ceramic
• Non-ferrous metals and precision metals finishing

Key Advantages

• Consistent cutting performance with controlled materials removal
• Long service life thanks to durable resin-bonded construction
• Flexible backing ideal for curved shaping and contour sanding
• Cleaner, smoother finishes compared with standard abrasives
• Compatible with expandable drums and upright sanders

Ideal Applications

• Cabochon shaping and smoothing
• stone pre-polishing for lapidary production
• Beveling and edging in glasswork
• Refining ceramics and porcelain pieces
• Jewelry fabrication and metal finishing

Usage Recommendations

For best performance, operate at moderate speeds and maintain consistent contact pressure. Light lubrication or misting may be used when working with heat-sensitive materials to maximize belt life and achieve smoother results.
