The AB Tools 457mm x 13mm sanding belts are ideal for woodworkers, DIY enthusiasts, and trade professionals who need to strip surfaces quickly and efficiently. These 40-grit belts are specifically designed for high-intensity tasks like rapid paint and varnish removal, providing a tough, durable abrasive surface for power file sanders. While they are exceptional for aggressive material removal, they are not suitable for fine finishing work due to their coarse abrasive grade.

Yes, they are suitable for light metal sanding applications.
Yes, these belts are compatible with a wide range of portable sanders including Bosch, Makita, Hitachi, Ryobi, and Black & Decker models using 457mm x 13mm specifications.
This package contains 20 individual sanding belts.
40 grit is very coarse and intended for aggressive material removal, such as stripping paint. It should be followed by finer grits if you require a smooth finish.
Keep them in their original packaging in a dry place, away from extreme temperature fluctuations to prevent the resin bond from degrading.
Adjust the tracking control knob on your sander until the belt centers itself while running at low speed.
Ensure the tensioning mechanism is not set too high and check for debris buildup on the rollers that might cause uneven pressure.
Reduce pressure on the tool to allow the abrasive to cut freely and clear dust, or use a sanding belt cleaning stick.
To install, ensure your power tool is disconnected from its power source. Align the belt according to the rotational arrow printed on the inside of the band, fitting it snugly over the tracking wheels. Once installed, adjust the tracking knob to ensure the belt runs centrally on the rollers. To maintain longevity, store these belts in a cool, dry environment, as humidity can affect the integrity of the resin bond. Avoid bending the belts sharply, as this can weaken the backing material.
