[samsagaz]

HI guys, im interested in purchase some band for my grinder 2000x75mm, i can purchase 3M and Sia Abrasives, someone know about these two brands? i mainly know 3M, but dont know what abt Sia Quality.

I wanna use it with 1095 steel.

Thanks in advance

Sia is not a brand that I have even heard about so I would request samples before commiting to an order.

I have some Sia zirconia belts. I believe they are made in Switzerland...they are pretty decent belts I think, but I'm not an expert.

Though I do not use a belt grinder, I have and do use both Sia and 3-M. Sia works great but I have not found it finer than 400grit. From there I go to 3-M for quality grit size.
