Strip
Sander Belts and Platens
The strip
sander uses aluminum oxide, garnet and silicon-carbide belts
of various grits in 1/2" x 42" and 1" x 42" sizes. Use
aluminum oxide belts for sanding wood, metal and plastic;
garnet for wood and plastic; and silicon-carbide for metal.
A felt polishing belt and buffing compounds are also available
for polishing metal and plastic.
The platens
provide a firm backup for the belts and keep them tracking
properly during sanding operations. There are three sizes
of platens: 1" flat, 1/2" flat, and 1/2" radius curved.
Table
20-1 contains information about the belts and platens
that are available for the strip sander.
