Product Highlights
Why Choose the AMED Surface Conditioning Belt?
When compared to traditional coated abrasives, surface conditioning belts offer a smoother finish with minimal material removal, making them ideal for fine finishing work. The AMED Surface Conditioning Belt stands out due to:
Consistent Finishing Power – The non-woven fiber mesh structure blends and finishes surfaces evenly without aggressive stock removal.
Longer Belt Life – The resin-bonded aluminum oxide abrasive provides durability and extended belt longevity.
Flexibility for Complex Surfaces – Ideal for curved and irregular surfaces, unlike rigid sanding belts.
Versatile Applications – Used for metalworking, woodworking, plastic finishing, and composite refining.
What is a Surface Conditioning Belt Used For?
Surface conditioning belts are non-woven abrasives designed for final finishing, blending, and light surface correction rather than heavy stock removal. Common uses include:
Metal Finishing & Satin Finishing
Creates a consistent grain finish on stainless steel, aluminum, and titanium
Removes oxidation, machine marks, and discoloration
Deburring & Edge Rounding
Removes sharp edges and burrs from CNC-machined metal parts
Surface Cleaning & Oxidation Removal
Removes rust, scale, and oxidation layers from metal surfaces
Contouring & Blending
Conforms to curved or complex surfaces for uniform finishing
Frequently Asked Questions
What is the difference between a surface conditioning belt and a sanding belt?
A surface conditioning belt is non-woven and designed for finishing and blending, whereas a coated sanding belt removes more material and is used for stock removal and shaping.
What grit is a maroon medium surface conditioning belt equivalent to?
A maroon medium belt is roughly P150-P180 grit, making it ideal for satin finishing and blending.
Can this belt be used for aggressive stock removal?
No, surface conditioning belts are not designed for heavy grinding. If you need aggressive material removal, a coated aluminum oxide or ceramic sanding belt is a better option.
Can this surface conditioning belt be used on wood and plastic?
Yes, while primarily designed for metal finishing, this belt can also be used on wood, plastic, and composites for smoothing and refining surfaces.
What machines are compatible with this belt?
This belt is designed for use with Waters Industrial’s dual spindle grinding and polishing lathes but is also compatible with other bench sanders, inline sanders, and polishing machines.
