Sanding belts

[Kelly76]

Hi there,

Probably a really obvious answer here, i've got a belt sander that takes 76mm X 457mm belts, but looking around, especially on eBay the 75mm X 457mm belts are cheaper and also available in bigger multibuy options - is there any harm in using the slightly smaller width belts?

Thanks

1mm difference - no problem at all.

it's what i thought, but didn't want to pay money for belts that might slip or just be plain useless.. many thanks

1mm is probably within manufacturing tolerance anyway, the crown of the rollers keeps the belt centralized.
Buy them with confidence.
