Trizac belt curiosity

Hello all,

I just got some 3M Trizac (spelling?) belts and they work very well on steel, lasting a lot longer than the regular belts I've been using.

Interestingly, when I tried them on micarta, they burned the micarta. Fast or slow speed, heavy or light pressure made almost no difference. I haven't tried wood yet.

This is not a big deal. I can keep using the regular belts for handle shaping. Mostly I'm curious why they behave this way. Any ideas?

Thanks,
Bob Couture
