For fast removal, start with a coarse grit, open
coat belt. Change to closed coat belts, using
medium grits as the material shows through the
coating. When the covering is thin, use medium
grit to avoid scratching the material. Use short,
light strokes, moving the sander rapidly.
Excessive pressure or steady sanding in one
place will burn the coating and load the belt.
METAL FINISHING
For ferrous metals such as steel, stainless
steel, iron, etc., use coarse grit open coat belts

or coarse to fine grit closed coat belts,
depending on the finish desired. Non-ferrous
metals such as aluminum, solder, brass,
bronze, etc., can also be sanded. Beeswax or
tallow are recommended as lubricants for metal
sanding, polishing or satin finishing to minimize
belt loading and to lengthen belt life. To use,
simply rub the lubricant on the belt from time to
time. SAE No. 10 or 20 lubricating oil can also
be used to assure a smooth scratch free
surface. Just wipe the oil on the surface prior to
sanding.
