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!  |

+1 on 3M belts. I could never get the HF belts to last more than a minute After switching to 3M Cubitron belts it was a completely different story even with the same belt sander and doofus running it.
