hawkeye10 Posted September 19, 2016 Report Share Posted September 19, 2016 I got the Olson sanding belts I ordered and have used one of them. They have grit on one side and the grit faces toward you. The part you clamp to is plastic so I don't know how long that part will last. They do work well on outside edges or inside edges that are large. I don't think they are any better than the ones I made. In fact I like the ones I made a little better. The one I made have grit on both sides which is a plus I think. The one I made the grit faces to the left and right and there is no down side to this. The bottom line is while the Olson belts work well I prefer the ones I make and won't buy any more Olson belts. PS - Another thing about the Olson belts is I don't think you can replace the belt with a new belt when you wear it out.

Scrappile Posted September 19, 2016 Report Share Posted September 19, 2016 Thanks for the info. The ones you made are sand paper glued to a saw blade. right? Could take a couple pliers and teist the ends of the blade so the paper faces forward?? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
