Belts that can handle wet grinding.

Since its a thread about wet grinding and i recommended starting to wet grind

I think i should bring up what i use currently.

Look up. Orbit 10198 Outdoor Misting Sidewinder 1/4-Inch Flexible Mist Stand on amazon.

It just attaches to a water hose. It makes it really convenient if you dont feel like getting an air compressor to hook up and have a mister. But instead of using the mist thing that it comes with, i cut that off and its basically more like flood cooling.

Hello Blankblank,
Thank you for being cool about this and allowing me to learn.
I will be making a setup like that thanks for the Link, ? I found an interesting paper on belts.

It would be pretty interesting to see something similar but testing high carbon steels. or steels with different levels of mc carbide and high hrc.

Why not drop him a line, I am sure he will be thrilled that someone outside academia is interested in his work. He may also have included some other testing but not included it in the paper, I would mention the increased efficiency from wet grinding as well and try to encourage him to take it up for further research, you could also suggest you can help with the testing see if you can get some free belts out him to test. :)

a setup like that might work on stone as well maybe try making a few stone handle scales if you ever find the chance.
