Hoping someone has figured out how to make these belts last more than a minute, I haven’t. Trying to do the last bit of cleaning up some welds and no matter how lightly I apply the belt to the metal the belt keeps snapping.
I am applying the belt to the metal on the return loop, or in other words the belt surface is being pulled over that metal rather than pushed. The manual is of zero help. Anyone knowledgeable in this dark art? Thanks!  |

Thanks guys - will order the 3M belts and check everything mentioned.
This thing is so nice and how it helps finish the metal that it makes it breaking so quickly extra frustrating is the potential is there and have it be really useful. Hope you are having a good weekend. |
