Sanding belts are a critical component of the knife making process. With their ability to remove stock, shape, smooth, and polish blades, they are an essential tool for any knifemaker. For over 50 years, Jantz Supply has been a premier supplier of quality knife making supplies, including sanding belts.
Jantz Supply offers a wide range of sanding belts to suit every knifemaker's needs. Whether you're looking to remove stock, shape, smooth, or polish your blade, we have the perfect belt for you. Our sanding belts are available in a variety of grits and sizes, making them suitable for both coarse and fine sanding.
One of the primary purposes of sanding belts is stock removal. In knife making, stock removal refers to the process of removing material from a blade's blank or roughed-out shape. Knifemakers use sanding belts to shape their blades and prepare them for heat treatment. At Jantz Supply, we offer a range of ceramic, Zirconia, and Silicon Carbide belts designed specifically for stock removal.
Sanding belts are also essential for blade sharpening. To achieve a razor-sharp edge, knifemakers need to use sanding belts to refine bevels and remove any burrs or nicks on a blade's edge. We offer a variety of belts designed specifically for blade sharpening, including Trizact and aluminum oxide belts.
In addition to stock removal and blade sharpening, sanding belts are also crucial for smoothing and polishing blades. A smooth finish is a hallmark of a well-crafted knife. At Jantz Supply, we offer a range of belts, from coarse to fine grit, that allow knifemakers to achieve the perfect finish on their blades. Our fine grit belts, such as the Micromesh Polishing Belt, are designed specifically for polishing blades.
In conclusion, sanding belts are a crucial component of knife making. Jantz Supply offers a wide range of sanding belts to suit every knifemaker's needs, from stock removal to blade sharpening, smoothing, and polishing. With our sanding belts, you can be sure that your blades will have the perfect edge and finish. Browse our collection today and take your knife making skills to the next level.
