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! |

The belts are directional make sure that they are mounted/installed so that the seam in the belt is mounted so the raw edge of the belt (where they are glued together) is not hiting the work piece first. In otherwords the belt can be looked at like a shingled roof where the overlap section of the belt moves so that it will not tend to peel up the splice of the belt. take a look at it and it should become clear.
