File belt

A file belt is a narrow abrasive belt for belt grinders with a small belt width. File belts are used when precise work is called for - e.g. on edges, contours, inside radii or weld seams. Or even in hard-to-reach places.

How does the use of a file belt affect service life, stock removal and surface?

• Stock removal: targeted and controlled
• Service life: depending on grain type and pressure
• Surface: easily controllable, even with difficult geometries

Typical problems when using file belts:

• Belt running problems
• Choosing the wrong backing material

What needs to be kept in mind when using file belts?

• Low, even contact pressure
• Suitable grit size depending on the work step
• High-quality cloth backing material for greater stability
