Everything is machined flat and parallel, wheels are crowned and same size and width, I ordered about 10 different belts from Tru Grit. I’m used to 2x72 but this is for sharpening at farmers markets and be more travel friendly. The only belt that tracks perfect is a ceramic merit belt with Y cloth backing.
Trizacts in 2x48 track terribly, same with Norton blue fire, and norax. They bump about 1/4-1-2” side to side. It’s driving me nuts. Any merit to a shorter belt having worse tracking? I assumed a shorter belt would have less stretch so more rigid and track better. Tru-Grit has been super helpful on the phone, but they don’t have a 2x48 in their shop to test.
We even laughed given the batch of belts I bought, the merit ceramics were the cheapest of the bunch yet they track dead on no side to side movement.
