The 2" x 72" "Shredder" sanding belt by Combat Abrasives is a ceramic grain stock removal belt. "Stock removal" is the term used to define the aggressive removal of material from a steel bar to produce the rough shape of a item (in our case, to reveal the rough shape of a knife).
The ceramic grain structure of these sanding belts provides continuous renewal of the most consistent and uniform cutting edges. The nature of ceramic grain allows for faster cutting and cooler stock removal. Ceramic "Shredder" belts are adhered to a Y-Weight Polyester high grip backing. This version is the 36-grit ceramic "Shredder" sanding belt. This belt will remove stock at a good pace. We recommend having multiple grits of the "Shredder" series ceramic sanding belts in your shop to allow for variation in your sanding aggressivness.
