Virginia Abrasives Corp 018-81960 Floor Sanding Belt 60 Grit

Product Description

The VIRGINIA ABRASIVES CORP 018-81960 is a cloth floor sanding belt designed for use with the Clarke EZ-8 Expanding Drum Floor Sander. Measuring 8 inches wide by 19 inches long, this belt is cut to the exact dimensions required for proper fit on the EZ-8 drum. At 60 grit, it is suited for medium-to-aggressive stock removal on hardwood and softwood flooring — typically used during the initial or intermediate passes of a floor refinishing job. The cloth backing provides durability and flexibility under the tension and heat generated during floor sanding operations. Flooring contractors and floor care technicians are the primary installers.

This belt is appropriate for residential and light commercial flooring applications where a drum sander is used to level, strip, or prepare wood floors for finishing. The 60-grit designation targets removal of old finish, light surface damage, or mill marks before transitioning to finer grits. It is specified for the Clarke EZ-8 Expanding Drum Floor Sander, a widely used machine in the flooring trade. Contractors should confirm drum size and belt dimensions before ordering to ensure proper seating on the drum.
