Belt Sanding

Flatten, shape and finish fast with compact belt sanders designed for the jeweler’s bench. Choose bench-mounted units, flex-shaft attachments, or micromotor handpieces, then stock up on replacement belts in the sizes and grits you use most.

What you’ll find here

• Bench & side-mount sanders with built-in motors for all-day finishing.
• Flex-shaft belt sanders that mount at the bench for quick, accurate flats.
• Micromotor belt handpieces for precise work with narrow belts.
• Replacement belts in common sizes and grits for jewelry metals and plastics.

How to choose

• Platform: A powered bench unit simplifies setup; a flex-shaft attachment saves space; a micromotor handpiece excels at detail and tight spots.
• Belt size: Match the tool—common options include 1″ × ~10½–12″ for bench/flex units and ~7 mm × 257 mm or 4–8 mm widths for compact/micromotor tools.
• Grit range: Keep a progression (e.g., 80/120/180/240/320) for controlled stock removal and clean finishes.
• Mounting & reach: Look for tilting/swiveling heads, stable rests and quick-change tensioners to speed repeat work.

Bench tips

• Use light pressure and fresh belts—let the abrasive cut to avoid heat and rounding edges.
• Collect dust at the source and dress your rest for true, repeatable flats.
• Label belt grits and store flat to prevent creasing.
