Sanding Belt Help Please.
Hi All,
I have a 4"X36" belt sander with a 1HP motor. I've used both Norton and Gator Power brand belts. My problem is, both brands get a bubble in them very shortly after use. This only happend to my 120 grit belts. The 80's don't deform.I am using light pressure sanding scale blanks smooth. Is there something I can do to prevent this from happening, or is there a different brand of belts that won't deform like this? I would be greatfull for any assistance. The bubble is making it impossible to sand the blanks flat and evenly. Needless to say it is very frustrating. Thanks in advance, Don.Last edited by donjcschilde; 08-07-2011 at 12:30 AM.
