The Standard Abrasives Surface Conditioning FE Belt saves time preparing workpieces for final finishes and coatings by performing one-step prep work. A reliable choice for edgework, some of its best uses include deburring and blending. FE material is an outstanding performer for flats and edgework when high contact pressure and stock removal are required.

  • High edge durability and flexibility
  • Designed for blending and deburring on ferrous metals, stainless steel, and high nickel/chrome alloys
  • Aluminum Oxide on FE material provides high initial and extended cut rate
  • Most efficient on ferrous materials when high contact pressure and stock removal are required
  • Open web responds to surface irregularities and minimizes gouging of the part
  • Non-woven construction provides for long life, flexibility, heat-resistance and consistent cut rate

PRODUCT FAQ

  1. What is the Standard Abrasives™ Surface Conditioning FE Belt made of?

    The Standard Abrasives™ Surface Conditioning FE Belt 885217 is made of a non-woven nylon material with abrasive grain.

  2. Can this belt be used for both grinding and finishing applications?

    Yes, this belt can be used for both grinding and finishing applications. Its surface conditioning feature makes it effective in removing surface contaminants as well as providing a finish on metal surfaces.

  3. What are the dimensions of the belt and how many are included in each case ?

    The Standard Abrasives™ Surface Conditioning FE Belt 885217 has a dimension of 1 inch by 18 inches, and comes with ten belts per case.

  4. Is it compatible with any type of sander or grinder?

    This product is ideal for use on wide variety of tools including angle grinders, bench grinders, file sanders and portable power tool attachments like right-angle grinders.

  5. How long does the belt last before needing to replace or change one?

    A:The longevity will depend mostly on the intensity of usage but typically it lasts longer due to its durable design that gives consistent cutting action throughout its life span. Once you start feeling decreasing cutting performance then you know it's probably time to change your disc .

FE Construction for Edge Work, High Contact Pressure and Stock Removal

The Standard Abrasives™ Surface Conditioning FE Belt is designed to provide high initial and extended rates of cut, while maintaining edge durability. This belt is constructed of resin-reinforced, non-woven fiber, which is more compact than Buff & Blend products. It is aggressive yet minimizes under-cutting or gouging of the workpiece. The FE belt performs the best on edges within the Standard Abrasives™ line of surface conditioning belts.

FE Belt Material

FE belts are made of a tough but flexible nylon mesh that fits any contoured surface. The FE material is designed with a woven fabric (scrim) embedded in the nylon structure to provide additional strength and durability. This helps extend the life of the belt and allows for extended use on ferrous materials or steel. This is the best surface conditioning material to use when high contact pressure and stock removal are required, and when loading is not a concern.

Outstanding Performance of Surface Conditioning Material

Surface conditioning products have a non-woven construction in which fiber strands, resin, and abrasive mineral form a thick, open web or mesh. The fibers respond to contours and effectively remove unwanted burrs, soils and contaminants while maintaining the geometry of the workpiece, which in turn reduces rework and boosts productivity. Gaps in the web allow heat and swarf to escape, prolonging the performance of the abrasive. Fibers in the web continually break down with use to reveal fresh mineral for exceptional consistency, superior cut performance and extremely long service life.

Aluminum Oxide for Ferrous Metals and Composites

The fibers that make up this belt are overlaid with aluminum oxide abrasive. Aluminum oxide belts are a good match for operators who desire an all-purpose versatility and economy. The mineral cuts fast while blending and deburring and is a good choice for applications on ferrous metals and composites. FE belts feature a premium grain with higher fracture strength, meaning the mineral will fragment and renew more readily. They are available in grades of Very Fine (VFN), Medium (MED) and Coarse (CRS).

Recommended Applications

The Surface Conditioning FE Belt comes in many different widths and lengths for use on pneumatic sanders, portable belt sanders, backstand equipment, and floor mounted/platen sanders. Its thick coating of resin makes it ideal for material removal where loading is not an issue. Choose this belt for use on ferrous metals, stainless steel, and high nickel/chrome alloys to perform deburring, blending, and creating a smooth transition from one surface profile to another.
