The Benchmark Abrasives 4" x 24" ceramic sanding belt is a Made in USA abrasive belt built for aggressive steel grinding, shaping, deburring, and stock removal with portable belt sanders. Its 4" width provides broad surface coverage for larger workpieces while still giving fabricators the control needed for flattening, edge cleanup, and surface preparation.
Ceramic abrasive grain is designed for demanding metalworking applications where fast cutting and efficient material removal are the priority. Available in 36, 40, 60, 80, and 120 grit, this belt covers heavy grinding and shaping through finer blending and surface refinement.

Materials & Applications
Best For: Steel stock removal, shaping, and surface grinding with portable 4" x 24" belt sanders.
Common applications include:
Steel stock removal
Surface grinding
Weld and edge cleanup
Deburring
Shaping
Flattening larger metal surfaces
Surface preparation
Blending and scratch refinement
General fabrication and maintenance work
Machine Compatibility
Designed for machines using a 4" x 24" sanding belt, including portable belt sanders and similar equipment used for larger-area sanding and grinding.
Fits machines designed for 4" x 24" sanding belts, including:
Makita® 9403 Belt Sander
Makita® 9404 Belt Sander
Always confirm your machine's required belt dimensions, configuration, and operating-speed requirements before use.
Tips for Better Belt Performance
Use 36 grit for the heaviest stock removal, then progress to finer grits as the surface approaches the next finishing stage.
Keep the sander moving appropriately across larger surfaces to help maintain a consistent grind pattern.
Allow the ceramic abrasive to do the cutting rather than relying on excessive pressure.
Keep the belt tracking correctly and inspect it before use.
If using the belt wet, confirm the machine and application are approved for wet operation.
Always use the guards and PPE required for your machine and application.
Frequently Asked Questions
It is designed for steel stock removal, grinding, shaping, deburring, edge cleanup, and metal fabrication.
This belt is designed for machines that use 4" x 24" sanding belts. Examples include Makita® 9403 and 9404. Other machines using this belt size may also be compatible. Check your exact model and installed setup before ordering, and follow the machine and belt speed requirements. The Makita® 9403 and 9404 are for dry operation, even when the belt itself supports wet use.
Use 36 grit for very coarse stock removal, 40–60 grit for coarse grinding and shaping, 80 grit for medium blending and refinement, and 120 grit for finer surface preparation.
Yes. The belt is designed for wet or dry use, but wet sanding should only be performed when the machine and application are approved for wet operation.
Yes. The belt is bi-directional, but follow your machine’s required running direction.
Ceramic is better suited to demanding steel grinding and stock-removal work, while aluminum oxide is the more general-purpose option for everyday wood and metal sanding across a broader grit range.
Both are strong options for steel grinding. Ceramic is especially well suited for demanding stock removal, while zirconia is another effective choice for shaping, grinding, and fabrication.
