Virginia Abrasives Corp 018-81924 Floor Sanding Belt 24 Grit

Product Description

The VIRGINIA ABRASIVES CORP 018-81924 is an 8-inch by 19-inch cloth floor sanding belt designed for aggressive material removal on hardwood and engineered wood floors. Rated at 24 grit, this belt is suited for coarse-cut passes — stripping old finish, leveling high spots, or cutting through heavy surface buildup. The cloth backing provides durability and flexibility during high-friction drum contact, allowing the belt to conform to the drum surface and maintain consistent abrasive contact. Flooring contractors and trade professionals install this belt as part of a standard multi-pass sanding sequence beginning with coarse grit before progressing to finer grits for final finish preparation.

This belt is sized and configured to fit the Clarke EZ-8 Expanding Drum Floor Sander, a widely used drum sander in residential and light commercial flooring work. The 24-grit rating makes it the right choice for first-pass stripping on heavily worn or previously finished floors. It is sold per belt and is appropriate for flooring installers, restoration contractors, and maintenance crews performing periodic floor refinishing work.

Installation Notes

Belt installation and floor sanding work is typically performed by licensed flooring contractors or experienced trade professionals. Before changing belts, power down the sander completely and unplug the unit from its power source. Ensure the expanding drum is fully released before seating or removing the belt. Follow equipment manufacturer guidelines for drum tension and belt alignment to prevent tracking issues or premature belt failure during operation.
