When traditional aluminum oxide belts aren’t cutting it, try 3M™ Cloth Belt 577F with alumina zirconia abrasive grain. It offers increased cutting efficiency compared to aluminum oxide, and has a heavy, water-resistant polyester backing that stands up to high-pressure applications and edge work. Runs cool on heat-sensitive metals. 3M™ Cloth Belt 577F is recommended for use on aluminum, mild steel, and stainless steel or other exotic metal alloys for dimensioning parts, deburring, blending, and finishing castings and forgings. To protect heat sensitive alloys such as stainless steel, nickel alloys and cobalt alloys, a grinding aid is incorporated in the belt to reduce running temperatures. Additionally, the abrasive is firmly bonded to the backing with resin to maintain durability under high heat and pressure. Alumina zirconia fractures frequently to continually produce sharp points and deliver a faster cut-rate than aluminum oxide. A synthetic mineral, it was developed for heavy stock removal and high pressure grinding.

10" Expander Wheel belts fit the 10" FootPro Expander Wheel.

Belt Materials:

• Aluminum Oxide Belts: Most economical, good for buffing and tool maintenance. This material will not have good life when used to grind shoes or steel with coarser grits.
• Zirconium Oxide: More durable, good for shoe and heavy grinding. A particulate material that gives better life than straight Aluminum Oxide, these work well for general purpose grinding of many types of material.
• Ceramic: Most durable, good for shoe and heavy grinding. These belts will give the best life for metal use and many farriers have found these to be the best value even though they can be more expensive than Aluminum Oxide and some brands of Zirconium belts.
• Cubitron - Highest level of performance and life.

Norton RazorStar belts are setting the new standard in grinding productivity, efficiency and quality. Designed for medium to high pressure metal removal, RazorStar belts feature 100% engineered shaped ceramic grit which cuts through metal with unbeatable performance. The unique, patented geometry of the RazorStar abrasive enables the grains to stay sharp longer than other abrasives, allowing for unparalleled belt-life. They are also designed to significantly reduce heat generation and maintain cooler grinding.
