New Grinder Arriving - can I get recomendations for essential belts list?

[bernynhel]

Best brands for var grits and best sources - thought this would be a big time saver vs total trial n error. I hope 20 or so various to start will do for now: 2 hp Pheer 427 x 10. Thanks.

Both of these links have good info. Enjoy the new grinder.

I know I've seen this type of thread fairly often. I recommend you use the search function.

That said, if you want a really good rough grinding belt that lasts and stays sharp a good while, the newer Cubitron 984 belts are working out well for me lately.

I had a Pheer 427 for a while. It was a good machine, I think you'll like it.

Some coarse belts. Salem's right: cubitron is great.
Some medium belts
Some gator belts
Some 3m scotch brite type belts
Some really narrow belts (1/2" x 72) for cleanup in tight areas

Between yall and older threads on belts, I can buy with a lot more confidence. A lot of the books I have are great references but for some that are older and, specifically, belt refs are obsolete. Thanks!
