Belt Cleaner?

[ddavelarsen]

Here's one:

I'm really curious as to whether anyone has found those rubber belt cleaner bars to be of any value.

Seems to me all it does is make the belt slick; doesn't seem to cut any better. Maybe I'm just trying to restore wasted belts?

They work well for cleaning wood out of belts when you are fiishing handles, don't do any good for metal. You should have one if only for high resin woods that clog belts easily.

Dave,I spray my courser grit belts=40 & 120,with WD40 w/the grinder running,for metal grinding it seems to help slow down loading up.Dont do this for wood.

I've use WD-40 lightly on new belts and it does help. As far as the belt cleaner sticks, try the sole of an old tennis shoe. Think you will find that equally effective. T
