ABRASIVE BELTS - THEIR SELECTION AND USE
Delta supplies a wide range of belts for use on your Finishing Machine. These belts are recommended for a wide range of work on wood, metals, plastics and other materials. However, when a large amount of production work of one kind is to be done, it is best to call in a coated abrasive specialist for specific recommendations.
All materials may be worked on a dry belt. But for professional quality or for production work a low melting point grease should be used for cooler cutting, better finish, and for longer belt life. Even coarse belts will "load" when grinding aluminum dry, and so a lubricant should always be used for this material. To a varying degree, this is true of other non- ferrous metals like soft brass and zinc.
A grease stick is often applied to the belt to prevent "loading" of the belt on softer materials especially aluminum. When grinding steel or some kinds of plastic, the grease stick is often used to prevent
When an abrasive belt smaller than 6" is desired, the 6" belt can be split. This can be done by turning the belt inside out and with a knife or other sharp instrument cut a slot in the belt at the desired width. Then proceed to tear the belt.
CAUTION: ONLY TEAR THE BELT A FEW INCHES AT A TIME ONE WAY THEN REVERSE THE TEARING ACTION. THIS METHOD WILL REDUCE THE TENDENCY OF THE BELT TO UNRAVEL.
For certain applications, a mist coolant attachment (not supplied by Delta) will be helpful. If the use of a mist coolant causes the Abrasive Belt to slip on the lower drive pulley, this can be corrected by using a "tire" which can be homemade by wrapping the pulley with a piece of coated abrasive belt. The grit is, of course, turned to the outside and cement should be used sparingly to avoid lumps under the "tire."
