Hey guys, just wondering if some of the members have a favorite brand/grit belt for surface grinding.
 
Two possibilities here:
One is he has a 2X72 mounted surface grnde like te Reeder or TW90. or
Two, he probably has set up his wheel type surface grinder with a belt instead of a wheel.

Surface grinder belt conversion - super easy

After getting my surface grinder all set up and running smooth I set the wife on the task of surfacing a bunch of D2 stock that I just annealed. My grinder came with a crap ton of wheels in all the colors. But no matter the wheel we tried it still was taking WAY to long to surface off the...

Either way, coarse ceramic belts work well.

Stacy is correct. Should’ve mentioned that I’m using an attatchment for my 2x72 grinder
 
I like the trizact belts but I wonder if the sections of grit wear unevenly and cause a wavy surface. I would like to try the norax belts at some point. For the low grit removal, the ceramic VSM belts are great on the SGA.
 
I only use my belt surface grinder for thinning stock and tapering tangs and get by using partially worn ceramic belts, so usually 50 grit vsm belts. After a partially worn belt sees surface grinder use it goes into the trash.
