No, but I suggest you call the nice people at Trugrit.com they have a few lines of Quality known name belts in most all sizes.. Check em out! $6.00 each for mystery belts sounds high...

They sometimes have combat abrasives' ceramic belts for quite a reasonable price. I'd look for them.
If you don't want to buy the ceramics, I can speak for their AO belts. They don't track worth a damn but they are cheap and I've shaped many handles and other wood projects on them and they work great.
Or roll the dice on a few ceramics to burn up your card and report back to us on how they work.

Nothing wrong with Blaze and Merit are an excellent value!! What brand are these Purple ones?
I just received some for my little 1x42 Kalamazoo, and gave one a test run on an axe head that I've been working on.
It's a bit of a resto-mod from an old axe head that turned up one spring as we were preparing ground for corn planting. It was REALLY rough, pitted to the point that grinding out all the pitting would just waste a lot of belts. I'm just making a cliche' Viking farm/battle hatchet. (I know........but I am verifiable true blood Norwegian, so I can at least lay some claim to it.....)
At any rate, I had been using some cheap AO belts, and for the sparse 10 minutes I spent with the green ceramic, I'm very pleased. Well worth the extra spend.

Who's belts are you referring to? Red label?
Hey Kuraki,
I believe these are the belts I bought. I know when I first got my grinder I was looking for the cheapest belts I could find and came across the amazon belts. These are 2$ per belt so not bad. I'll go out to the shop tonight and check the brand on the back.

The green ceramics from red label are Hermes belts. I've used quite a few of them, not bad. Had tracking issues with one batch.
