abrasive and
fabric are fine. When you run a belt it snaps apart at the taped joint
after a few
pressured revolutions.
The clear tape simply lets loose. We tried using standard plastic
packing tape which
is pretty strong stuff but that experiment did not test out. Just for
the sake of having
it handy, Gorilla duct tape went on and failed next.
Does anyone have a suggested tape or other fix so these belts are
usable?

Look for something using Heat and Pressure. Something you could use a

There's a special tape used. <http://www.adktapes.com/products.html>
Probably end up costing more than it's worth to fix your belts.

The first thing to fail on a sanding belt is the tape joint.
Hope they paid you well to haul away and dispose of their junk.

Thanks for the site, which I checked. Although no prices were

I'm not betting against your probability. What is the storage life on
taped abrasive belts?
Klingspor has been cited in the past as a good bonded abrasive source.
Does anyone have further ideas on any initial customer qualifications
and
comparable quality? We could consolidate a good order especially if
they offer diamond abrasives for stone work.

Pearl Abrasives comes in from Canada with a major distribution center
here in SoCal
Have used Klingspor for sheet goods and Pearl for belts and heavy duty
discs for several years.
The Pearl came thru a local retail hardware at competitive prices if
purchased in quantity.
Klingspor was direct, again in quantity.

on my wide-belt sander. Old belts just blow apart. I got a bunch of new
sanding belts with my Time Savers that were made in "West Germany"... date
that! Needless to say, they all blew apart. Cut up, I still use pieces for
hand sanding.
I faintly recall a special process for sticking these together, but my old
mind is really weak.

Slice them up, use them by hand or on palm sanders.

the whole belt circumference?
This would make the belt pretty hard to tape together. Some sort of adhesive
would be in order.
It could be very hard to get the belts to track properly after repair.

Super glue works perfectly. I just fixed two belts 6x48" of my own, one
broke again, but it had a defect that made it break to begin with. The
other one has been working for about 2 weeks now. I initially glued the
sucker for quick use until I could get some new belts, damn thing still
working great. Don't skimp on the glue. Pretty sure I used super glue gel.

My 6x48" sanding belts are old, really, really old, like 20 years or
more. They have held up well but when they fail, it of course is along
the glue line. If they just blow apart due to glue failure, the fix is
simple.

> I tried to find it tonight but only found one useful link:
I did no research, but had some super glue gel laying around. I spread
the glue on the seam, put a paper towel under the belt to stop gluing
the belt to itself, and pressed the seam together with a strip of wood.
This glue dries in 10 seconds so clamps are not even needed. The seam
is a 1/4" lap joint on these belts. I think they are originally glued
with a similar glue. I initially was afraid the glue would be too
brittle, but so far, so good.

My belts have a long angular joint across the width of the belt.

The joint is a half lap joint. As long as the break is clean, it is
simple to line it up perfectly, it's really automatic since it's a half
lap joint. Tape, hot melt glue would not work. Super glue gel works
great, and is simple since the glue dries in seconds, and is thin enough
that the seam is not raised, and is just as flat as it was at the factory.
I just did this two weeks ago, and after several uses it's holding up
fine. Can't say it will hold up forever or not, but I can say, for
certain, it will hold up for two weeks and about an hour of sanding...
Saved me an emergency trip to Granger and it took almost zero effort to fix.
> It could be very hard to get the belts to track properly after repair.
Tracking was not an issue, since the joints line up perfectly with
little fuss. A bump at the seam is no problem since super glue is thin,
even the gel type. Hot melt and tape I would think would fail to work
at all.

I have had the conversation w/ Klingspor engineering on the issue. I'll
try to dig out the correspondence if I get a moment and post same. Was
interesting insight.
They don't (because their supplier doesn't) warrant the adhesive for
over a year and had no retail supply for replacement. My experience is
in cool storage they'll last longer than that reliably but not
indefinitely as the posting shows.
Despite that disappointment I still think the Klingspor is as good a
value as there is for individuals and small production folks that I'm
aware of you just have to be aware of how long you'll take to use up
inventory and plan purchasing in accordance. In my case I went from
active moderately high volume usage to just the occasional personal use
after the move and it was several years.

My familiarity with this problem goes back many years. When I faced
the same experience of snapping belts, I was told that improper
storage was the culprit, ie storage in an un-heated, un-cooled
building.
I was also told the manufacturers of the belts have assembly presses
which cannot be duplicated at home.
The lesson to be learned here, IMHO, is to purchase small lots as
needed. Is there anyway to find out the date of manufacture as per a
carton of milk?

It was Jack Stein who said he had had success that way, not OP.
I'll have to try it; didn't think there would be much chance w/ it,
either so haven't done so. The info I got from Klingspor engineering is
what they use is a thermo- or UV-curable adhesive. I've not found the
communications, unfortunately; don't recall what I must've done w/ them
but not in any of the logical places (or at seem what to be logical now;
who knows what was thinking of then.. :( )

Yes, I figure you glue one you need and use it, then it falls apart when the

2 possibilities come to mind.
Some belts are extremely directional and will last forever in the
correct direction or fall apart as you speak of in the other
direction. If there is an arrow on them, be sure to use it.
Second, old belts can have old, brittle adhesive and nothing I've
heard of will save 'em. Most tape will hit the shoe plate and curl
right off.

If the ends overlap, you can use elmer's glue and fix by ironing with
a household iron. If they but up then you will need some kind of
cloth tape.
We use to make our own in school shop by cutting from a roll at a
diagonal so they would overlap by approx an inch. Then using a
grinding stone in a DeWalt radial arm saw we ground off the grid on
one end, put on the glue and ironed them from the back. Never had one
to come unglued. The stock roll was donated by a local plywood maker.

These belts butt up with the tape overlapping that line.
We use some large, stationary Somaca belt sanders as well and it would

new roll
stock also poses possibilities; hopefully, some of them might deal
with saving
money.
As to your second paragraph, my head is a little hard. Does "grinding

You would think so, but so far, so good. I did the repair over 2 weeks
ago and I've been sanding with it ever since. Yesterday I sanded a box
I made with box joints. I always make them a little proud and sand the
shit out of them. This is one of the harder tasks for my sander and if
the joint is going to break, this will do it. Held up perfectly.

My belts are all 20 years old. They are working fine and are just now
beginning to break prematurely, thus, the reason I tried the super glue.
I can't say they will hold up forever since forever hasn't arrived, but
I can tell you for sure the super glue has far exceeded my expectations
and it has held up for over 2 weeks.

The glue I used was DURO QUICK GEL. I normally use it for gluing
leather cue tips to my pool cue. It's made my Locktite I believe and is
sold at Kmart, or used to be. The stuff dries in 10 seconds under
pressure, so clamping is not even needed. I pressed it firmly with a
hunk of wood across the joint and a paper towel under the joint. No
glue seeped out the top, but some did get on the paper towel, so I was
glad I took that precaution. I made sure I covered the entire joint
generously as some glue soaks into the cloth.
About my only concern now is will the glue get too brittle? It's been
over two weeks, and the glue dries in 10 seconds, so I'm feeling pretty
confident.
There may well be a better glue for this, but while all my instincts
said it wouldn't work, it has worked well.
