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!  |

I use a pneumatic file Dynafile 2. they are money but are really nice to use nad do not have as much wandering as cheaper (inc Dynafile 1).
Might want to try scotch bright belts too. Red will take metal but not much. 3M always. Paper, belts, cubitron cutting/grinding wheels. They know their abrasives. I have zero affiliation.  |
