Best sander belts?
Hi all,
I’ve got an Evolution ‘finger’ sander - I got it to remove some hard to access rust on my VW T4.
The belts that came with it (13x457) were OK. I bought some replacements from Screwfix, which were hopeless.
There are hundreds to choose from on Amazon - anyone any recommendations please?

I appreciate it's not Amazon, but the belts from this guy are the only ones I've found that wear smooth before they break. You're right
about the screwfix ones though, I binned half of those because they were either tearing lengthways or just ejecting themselves straight out!!

Silverline ones from Amazon worked well for me (rust removal from box sections) not sure of size availability but worth a look.

Only my thought - did the belts that came with the Evolution "finger" sander have anything marked on the back of them?
Manufacturer / Part Number?
Often the way to trace what you've used successfully.
