With its fast cut rate and great durability, the BlueFire R823P medium grit cloth wide belt is a smart choice for stock removal jobs requiring light to moderate pressure. Designed with a self-sharpening zirconia alumina abrasive, the belt lasts up to 30 percent longer than comparable products. The X-weight polyester backing is waterproof, so the belt can handle either dry or wet applications on metal or wood, and a rugged resin bond contributes to the belt's outstanding longevity.
