Merrit and VSM ceramics?

[Kentucky]

Got to make a new belt order. Was thinking of trying a few of the budget ceramics. I don’t expect them to hold up to 984’s but how do the merrit and VSM belts hold up for the price?

I find the vsm a very good value. Nothing better than 3M 984, haven’t tried the Merrit yet.

Has anyone devised any repeatable testing techniques for ceramic belt life?

Edit: I've used VSM and liked them!

Good.. I’m going to order some 984’s again but I noticed Pops is carrying the VSM too. I’d like to try them out

Merrit never seemed to last for me.

VSM will give you good mileage for the $$$

Now please tell me how to get a hammer from you.

Plus one on the VSM. I love the Norton Blaze belts but the VSM are half the price and Blaze are already pretty good value. I feel like I get about 70% of a blaze at least with what I do.

Tried some on my last belt order and am pleased with them considering the price.

For the time being, I'm sticking with the 984F's in 36 and 60 grit. Still a good value for my needs. But, I think I'm going to switch to the VSM's in 120 grit. For whatever reason, I actually prefer them in 120 grit to the 984F 120.
