I just got finished flat sanding 19 feet of 1" wide s30v I bought from Crucible. This stuff is a dream! It's ten times slicker out of the box than any other regular bar stock I've ever bought. I slicked up both sides on all 19 feet with just two 120 grit belts.I could have gotten more out of the first belt but my arms were aching
There were only a couple small sections that had any pitting at all. Also, it seemed to work very easily. Towards the end I decided to crank up my grinder and see how it worked at higher speeds. I cranked the grinder up from 30% to 70% and the stuff was even easier to grind. I sure hope I get the same results when I start hollow grinding! Oh yeah, I use aluminum oxide belts.
