Discover our range of sanding belts from Faithfull, IRWIN, DEWALT, Flexovit and Evolution, covering file sander, mini belt sander and standard belt sander sizes in grits from 24 up to 120.

Belt size varies significantly by sander type and model, so check your machine's exact belt dimensions before ordering; a belt built for one brand's belt sander won't necessarily fit another, even at a similar apparent size.

Sanding Belts – Product list

File sander belts

File sanders use narrow, elongated belts for detail work in tight spaces. IRWIN's Powerfile range covers 40G, 60G and 120G at 13 x 455mm, plus a Zirconium 60G version for harder materials, or as a complete 10 Piece Set. Flexovit's Powerfile belts match the same 13mm width in Coarse 50g, Medium 80g and Fine 120g. DEWALT's Band File Sanding Belt covers the same profile in 80G and 120G, and Faithfull's Cloth Sanding File Belt Assorted gives a mixed-grit option for general file sander use.

Mini belt sander belts

Evolution's Mini Belt Sander Belts, at 303 x 40mm, cover 100g and 120g grades, suited to smaller compact belt sanders used for detail shaping and finishing work.

Standard belt sander belts

For full-size belt sanders, Faithfull's Cloth Sanding Belt range covers the widest spread of dimensions in this collection, from 400 x 60mm and 457 x 75mm through to 533 x 75mm, 560 x 100mm, 610 x 100mm and 915 x 100mm, each in grits from 24G up to 120G. IRWIN's 75 x 457mm and 75 x 533mm Sanding Belt Sets (9 Piece) bundle multiple grits for common belt sander sizes. DEWALT's Sanding Belt range covers 533 x 75mm in 40G, 80G and 120G, while Flexovit's Cloth Sanding Belt range spans 457mm, 533mm and 610mm lengths at 75-100mm widths in Coarse, Medium and Fine grades.

File sander belts for material shaping

Evolution's File Sander Belts, sold separately from the mini belt sander range, cover 80, 100 and 120 grit for general file sander shaping and finishing tasks.

Choosing the right belt size

Always confirm your sander's exact belt dimensions (width x length) before ordering, since belts are not universally sized across brands, even when models look similar. Standard sizes like 457 x 75mm or 533 x 75mm cover many common belt sanders, but file sanders and mini belt sanders use distinctly different, narrower profiles.

Choosing the right grit

Coarse grits (24-40G) remove material fastest, suited to rough shaping or stripping old finish. Medium grits (60-80G) balance removal with a workable finish for general use. Fine grits (120G) leave a smooth surface ready for final finishing before painting or varnishing.

Frequently Asked Questions

Check your sander's manual or measure the existing belt's width and length directly, since belt dimensions vary between brands and models, even those that look similar in size.
File sander belts are narrow, typically around 13mm wide, designed for detail work in tight spaces. Standard belt sander belts are wider, from 60mm up to 100mm, suited to larger, general surface sanding tasks.
Start with a coarser grit, around 24-40G, to remove material quickly and shape the surface, then progress to medium and fine grits for a smoother final finish.
Zirconium belts, like the IRWIN Powerfile Zirconium range, cut faster and last longer on harder materials, making them a good choice for more demanding or repeated use compared to standard aluminium oxide belts.
No, they're different sizes: mini belt sander belts, such as Evolution's 303 x 40mm range, are wider than the narrow 13mm belts used on file sanders, so check your specific machine's belt dimensions before ordering.
