Description There are various types of abrasive sharpening belts available for your Proedge Sharpening System… all provide for different sharpening needs. Abrasive sharpening belts: Aluminium Oxide: available in 60, 120 ~* and 240 * grit for sharpening bench chisels, carving tools and plane irons. This common abrasive is designed primarily to sharpen carbon steel bench chisels, carving tools and plane irons but will also hone harder high speed steel tools. The material longevity is at the lower end of the abrasives scale we use on our belts, but makes an excellent economical choice. Work your way through grit sizes (heavier grits for the removal of more material) to achieve a fine finish with a 240 grit. Zirconium: 60 ~* and 120 grit is designed for HSS tools, drills and router bits. The 60 grit belt will tackle the most damaged surface. Use the 120 to provide a rewarding cutting edge and finish. Ceramic: 60 and 120 grit is especially hardwearing and long lasting for heavy material removal. Longer lasting abrasive for High speed steel woodturning tools (HSS). This hardwearing material is a great choice for profiling and re-profiling damaged tools. The heavier 60 grit option is an efficient choice for removing plenty of material, while the finer 120 grit will provide a satisfying finish. Trizact: (brick and pyramid abrasive shaping. “Grit” sizes: 600, 1200, 3000) designed for all steel. The highest level “grit” sharpens to two microns (sharper than a razor blade) These are Perfect for producing a polished bevel and fine cutting edge on Carbon steel tools.Perhaps our most popular range of belts this robust material is designed to handle the demands of all steels. Not strictly ‘grit sizes’ these belts are built using brick and pyramid abrasive shaping. The highest 3000 ‘grit’ size will sharpen to two microns (the same sharpness as a disposable razor blade) and provide a factory finish on all steels. Diamond Belts – the offer the pinnacle in abrasive technology. Providing both the flexibility of standard cloth belts with the durability and fast cutting action of plated diamond wheels. The diamond particles are precisely graded providing a long life solution for the sharpening of the most difficult of materials. Due to the hardness of the diamond abrasive grain, outstanding results can be achieved with tungsten carbide, ceramic, glass and natural stone and many other resistant materials. Invest in one of these belts and their longevity and versatility will benefit you a lifetime. ** If am item is showing low/no stock, please order as we can turn round within a few days ��
