Product Specification
3" X 79" CERAMIC SANDING BELT
The Benchmark Abrasives 3" x 79" ceramic sanding belt is a Made in USA abrasive belt built for steel stock removal, shaping, grinding, and fabrication on larger belt-grinding equipment. Its 3" width provides a broad working surface for larger metal parts while maintaining the cutting performance needed for demanding grinding applications.
Ceramic abrasive grain is designed for efficient material removal on steel. Available in 60, 80, and 120 grit, this belt moves from coarse grinding and shaping through medium blending and finer surface preparation.

Machine Compatibility
Designed for machines requiring a 3" x 79" sanding belt, including larger stationary belt grinders and fabrication equipment.
Because some machines sold in the 3" x 79" class may use a metric belt specification, always confirm the exact belt dimensions and machine tension range before ordering. For example, the JET® BG-379-1 is associated with this general belt-size class, but machine documentation may specify a 75 x 2000 mm belt. Verify your specific machine before assuming interchangeability with a nominal 3" x 79" belt.
For this product, the available selection is limited to 60, 80, and 120 grit.
- Use 60 grit for coarse grinding, shaping, and heavier material removal.
- Use 80 grit when more control and a finer scratch pattern are needed.
- Use 120 grit for surface refinement, blending, and finish preparation.
- 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.
