After losing my 2x72 grinder in a house fire 7 years ago I finally replaced it. This is a hobby for me so it wasn’t a priority and time just slipped by.
Anyway after doing a search I can see everyone has their own preferences that meet their needs.
So last me ask this as a two part question. What are absolutely stay away from brands or belt series?
Second what are your go to general purpose belts? In the past I was using some of the Gator belts. 80% of what I make are 8-12 blades choppers in basic carbon steels 1084, 5160. I’d like to try some new steels eventually , but like I said this is a hobby. I’ll sell a few here and there but it’s really to cover cost to fuel the hobby.
I’m starting back from scratch so I’ll be buying all relevant grits from hogging down stock to cork polishing. I have a vfd on a 1.5hp motor and will be using wheels and flat platens.
I know this is a pretty basic question and I did take the time to do some search’s current advice is never a bad thing though.
