Traditional silicon carbide products typically don't last very long at all so i was skeptical about these however i came across a few good reviews of this product and decided to give them a try.

I can say I am extremely satisfied!! For the price these are an incredible deal!! After using the belts for over two hours last night they seem barely broken in. A traditional sc belt would have been worn out by this point.

The real question becomes does a diamond belt last 20x longer than one of these because that's about the equivalent in price...from what I can tell these are more cost effective. Will be my go to belts for now on.

Only wish I have is that these will be made in 3000 grit and up!! Maybe someday...

Thanks kingsley for offering this product!!

These are the best vale in Lapidary equipment for even a commercial Art Studio. Frankly, they wear better than the diamond belts and wheels I had been using. Wear can be extended by running the belts in both directions, ignoring the directional arrows. the taped joint is the usual wear out point but I found that adding duct tape over that point "smooths" the joint and further extends the life of the belts. These belts do need a higher water flow than diamond wheels or belts for getting their best performance.
