Hello, Fellow Knife doggers & Dogettes.
After the problem with the backing on BLAZE belts the search for a new belt led me to VSM & Merit Best buy belts which I have nothing but good things to say about their price to performance.
Scott at www.trugrit.com Ontario recently sent a few samples of a new Lower cost ceramic belt from 3M.
I received a 40 Grit, 60 Grit and a 120 in a new line by 3M 947A Cubitron Ceramic. These belts were quoted at $7.25 $610.00 & $5.25 for the 120 Grit belts.
On a cost per performance these are an excellent value over the Blaze and the higher priced 3M Ceramic belts.
I got the 60-120 first and was so impressed with the 60 grit that I will be ordering more instead of the VSM or merit ceramics in 60 grit. The 120 seems to be holding well but I am not done with it yet.
The 40 grit belt arrived a few days later with some sanding disks and other stuff I purchased. It also seems to be strong contender for becoming my regular ordered belt but I want to use it a bit more first and see how long it lasts as a profiling belt since that's what my ceramic belts get used for after I have used up and half of the grit and they start making to much heat.
I really suggest you guys give these a try. At this price point you find them to be an excellent value.
Just so you know,
I have not been paid or given anything by tru-grit other than these three test belts to write this and Scott sends me "Test Belts" about 3-4 times a year and more often than not I tell him to pass on the brand/s of the test belt I receive from him and I don't write anything at all, cause, as our parents use to say! If you don't have anything nice to say, ,, ,,, ,,,, ,,,,,,!
I will post more as I use these belts more.
Comments and questions are welcome!
P.S. Bossdog, I suggest you look into these belts so us Dogsters can buy them from you too.
