Our 8" x 19" Floor Sanding Belts are ideal for fast cuts during pre-finish floor sanding and cutting through layers of floor coatings. We offer them with Ceramic, Aluminum Oxide, Zirconia, and Silicon Carbide abrasive materials - all bonded to a cloth backing. High-quality Aluminum Oxide, Silicon Carbide, and Zirconia belts are ideal for edge sanding, bevel grinding, and edge sanding. It comes in a wide range of grits to compliment all sanding needs from stock removal to fine polishing. These belts are great for use on many different surfaces to complement its already wide range of applications.
Guide on what material type to choose from for your EZ-8 Floor Sanding Machine:
Aluminum Oxide (Brown in color) - Aluminum Oxide belts are great belts for floor refinishing if you dont want to spend the money for the zirconia or ceramic in the coarser grits from 24 to 120. After this grit range meaning 150 +, your only option would be silicone carbide or aluminum oxide. Aluminum Oxide will last about 25-40% longer than silicone carbide, although silicone carbide, because of its grain will leave a more refined line grain finish. Aluminum oxide is a good bang for your buck if you want to stay on a budget but still want decent life of your sanding belt for your wood floor refinishing project.
Silicone Carbide - As i mentioned above, silicone carbide is known for its pristine and more refined finish. THis grain by nature leaves a sharper, thinner line grain when sanding which can result in a better finish when sanding wood floors. You do sacrifice some life with this material as its consistent sharp edges & fragmentation are what gives it its ability to finish well, but also cause the belt to wear quicker. I like to think of aluminum oxide as a #2 pencil, while Silicone carbide is the mechanical pencil that always sharp. If money is less of an issue and you want the bet
Zirconia - Zirconia belts for your EZ-8 floor sander are a FANTASTIC option, and our choice for removal of the old, crusty flooring in a hurry! ;) For the money, these things are killer and we find perform much better than the Norton Bluefire belts by 20%. Zirconia is only offered in grits 24, 36, 40, 60, 80 & 120 as its mainly meant for stock removal. We HIGHLY recommend this.
Ceramic - While we largely find that ceramic can be overkill in many circumstances for wood flooring and often recommend our zirconia, ceramic is a good option for those that dont mind paying a little extra and want some belt that are very heavy duty and will last a long time! these will last about 2X that of the zirconia belts.
Tough, abrasive and effective for sanding an old deck.

We were sanding the floors in our 100 year old house- at least 4 coats of paint on there. Our local hardware only went down to 36 grit so I jumped online and found 24 for the drum sander on Maverick Abrasives. Got 10 (which was enough to do every room with painted floors in the house) for way less than our already very inexpensive Menards nearby. Just had to wait on them to be shipped (got here in less than 2 weeks). I would HIGHLY recommend purchasing if you have a big job and paint on the floor. It just doesn’t make sense to waste hours with the machine and the wrong (too fine) grit. I’m definitely thinking of ordering for the orbit sander end of the job but this stuff was so great I know it won’t take much to get them perfectly sanded in the homestretch. Very happy customer.

From my limited past experience, it seemed that floor sander rental establishments made a decent share of their money from selling/providing their own sand paper. I was able to purchase the Maverick sleeves for half the cost of the rental place. I feel their product is by far superior to anything out there and I'm telling my woodworking friends about Maverick Abrasives. I very glad I discovered Maverick Abrasives.
