RazorStar Belts

The RazorStar belts (yellow) have a special grit and coating that provides excellent results, with quick removal of material and less heat build-up.

• Next generation ceramic grain
• Aggressive but smooth cut
• High cut rate
• Cooler cut
• Available in three sizes: 10" Expander Wheel, 2"x36" and 2"x48"
• 36 grit only

 

3M Cubitron Belts

• Designed for longer belt life
• Increased productivity
• Runs cooler, reducing metal discoloration/oxidation and the chance of heat related stress cracks
• Requires less pressure
• 2”x36”, 2”x48” and 10" (36 Grit) Expander Wheels

 

VSM Ceramic & Zirconia Grinding Belts

• 2" x 36" – Zirconia (24, 40, 60 or 80 Grit) or Ceramic (40 Grit)
• 2" x 48" – Zirconia (24, 40 or 80 Grit) or Ceramic (40 Grit)

 

Belt Materials Commonly Used in the Farrier Market

Ceramic – Most durable, shoe and heavy grinding

These belts will give the best life for metal use and many farriers have found these to be the best value even though they are more expensive than Aluminum Oxide and some brands of Zirconium belts. Common grit for grinding shoes is 36 or 40 on an expander wheel.

 

Zirconium OXIDE – More durable, good for shoe and heavy grinding

A particulate material that gives better life than straight AO, working well for general purpose grinding of many types of material. Often has coolant coating such as with 3M 577 or 877 belt series.

 

Aluminum OXIDE (AO) – Most economical, good for buffing and tool maintenance

Often a brown material, used most often for maintenance of tools with finer grits (100, 120 and up). This material will not have good life when used to grind shoes or steel with coarser grits.

 

Common Belt Grits

• 24-40 grit – aggressive grinds
• 60-80 grit – mid-range grinding
• 100+ grit – tool finishing/polishing
