Bad Belts

[TJ Smith]

I ordered some belts from Super Grit as their price was pretty good. When trying out the 50 grit blue zirconia I had a terrible time doing the plunge or riccasso area. I checked the belts out . They weren't cut true. Some of them had a wobble (UP to 3/16 of an inch)in them. Seemed to be out of line not just wide and narrow spots.Anybody eles had this problem? I sent them back and was told that they couldn't see anything wrong with the belts. Jeez i hate that do they think I sent them back cause I didn't have anything else to do?
Take care
TJ

As mentioned here before as far as belts go, you get what you pay for. With belts, this holds very true.

I have never had any problems with the Norton "blue" belts or ANY 3M product.

One other little bit of advice since we are discussing belts. Belts, believe it or not, have a shelf life. It is not the belt itself but the adhesive used at the seam. Have you ever had a "new" belt pop at the seam? That is why.
