8 in x 19 in Assorted Sanding Belts, 12 Pack - Complete Grit Range

In this review the reviewer tested the 8 in x 19 in assorted sanding belts to see whether the pack delivers the range and durability hobbyists and pros need. The bottom line: this 12-pack is best for woodworkers and floor refinishers who need a full progression of grits without buying singles, because the included 2 each of 40, 60, 80, 100, 120 and 150 grit covers aggressive stock removal through fine polishing in one kit. The review focuses on build quality, seam performance, and real-world use on hardwood and metal.

Key Features

• Comprehensive grit selection: The set includes 12 belts with two of each grit so users can move from heavy sanding to polishing without sourcing extra belts.
• X-weight cloth backing: The cloth backing provides tear resistance and consistent contact on a drum sander for steady material removal.
• Premium aluminum oxide abrasive: The abrasive grain balances cutting speed and longevity for both wood and metal tasks.
• Seamless joint technology: The bidirectional rotation joint reduces seam bumps and improves finish quality while extending belt life.
• Versatile applications: These belts work on hardwood flooring, woodworking projects, and light metal grinding or polishing jobs.

Who It's For

The 8 in x 19 in assorted sanding belts are aimed at small shop woodworkers, floor refinishers using an EZ 8 drum sander, and DIYers who want a ready set of progressive grits to complete a project from rough removal to finish smoothing. The included coarse grits make it practical for repair and leveling work, while the finer grits are suitable for prefinish smoothing.

Those who should look elsewhere include users needing specialty abrasives (triangular belts, silicon carbide for wet sanding, or extremely fine polishing beyond 150 grit) or operators of nonstandard belt sizes. If a specific single grit is required in large quantities, buying packs of that grit may be more economical.

Pros & Cons

Pros

• Full progression of grits in one pack saves time sourcing belts for staged sanding.
• Durable X-weight cloth backing resists tearing during heavy use on a drum sander.
• Seam joint design reduces bumps at the seam for a smoother finish on wood floors and panels.
• Works on both wood and light metal tasks, increasing workshop versatility.

Cons

• The top grit is 150, so users needing ultra-fine polishing beyond that will need additional abrasives.
• Two belts per grit are helpful, but heavy commercial shops may prefer larger quantities of specific grits.
