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.

Materials & Applications
Best For: Steel stock removal, shaping, grinding, and metal fabrication.
Common applications include:
Steel stock removal
Surface grinding
Weld and edge cleanup
Deburring
Shaping
Surface preparation
Blending
Scratch refinement
General fabrication and maintenance work
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.

This 3" x 79" belt is available in 60, 80, and 120 grit.
Use 60 grit for coarse grinding and shaping, 80 grit for medium blending and refinement, and 120 grit for finer surface preparation.
This belt is designed for grinders that use 3" x 79" sanding belts. JET® BG-379-1 and BG-379-3 are examples in this nominal size class. Other machines using this belt size may also be compatible. Confirm the exact belt specification and tension adjustment on your machine before ordering; a 75 x 2000 mm requirement is not an exact inch-size match.
Yes. The belt is designed for wet or dry use, but wet grinding should only be performed when the machine and application are approved for it.
Yes. The belt is bi-directional, but follow your machine’s required running direction.
Ceramic abrasive is well suited for demanding steel grinding where efficient stock removal and controlled progression into finer surface preparation are important.
