Mastercraft 3 x 21-in Sanding Belt, 5-Pk 4 5 2 2

New package, but same quality as before These are not the greatest sanding belts available. There are resin ones that last forever compared to these paper-backed belts. However, they are quite adequate for the average DIYer or hobbyist. For removing stock, flattening wood, or stripping paint, these are quite sufficient for the average user. If you remember to clean the belt regularly (with compressed air) then these will last you a decent amount of time. There are two problems with this product. The first one is common to all paper-backed sanding belts: the paper can tear if you are sanding something with a sharp edge or a nail head. These belts also have overlapping glue joints, resulting in a double layer where the belt is connected to itself. This causes a lot of bumping as the bump goes around and around. I don't know if this is common to the MasterCraft line of sanding belts, or if it's a problem with other brands of paper sanding belts. The bumping is not particularly annoying and doesn't impede the effectiveness of my sander. sanding belts You get a lot of bumping in the sander as the bump goes around and around the sander. The back of the belt has an overlapping glue joint. While I have only used the 80, 120, 220 grits, they all have the same higher than normal glue joints where the belt is connected to itself. This tends to make for a bumpy sanding action while on the sander, but the back side of the belt is very smooth so the sander continues to move at a consistent rate providing good results. I can't say anything about how well they remove rust on metal (I work mostly with wood) and I haven't tried to use them to sharpen tools." October 5, 2012
