106754 - VSM ZK713X 6x48 Inch Zirconium Sanding Belt 60 Grit

Heavy-Duty Metal Grinding Belts for Fabricators

For professional welders and fabricators, time is money, and changing abrasive belts frequently slows down production. The VSM 6" x 48" 60 Grit Zirconium Drum Belt (ZK713X) is built to withstand the rigors of the welding shop. Unlike standard aluminum oxide belts that dull quickly when grinding hard metals, this Zirconium Alumina belt is engineered to cut faster and last longer, even when working on tough materials like stainless steel and structural steel.

The 60 grit coarseness is the perfect workhorse for the shop floor. It is aggressive enough to hog off material, level weld seams, and remove heavy scale, yet leaves a finish that is easily refined with a subsequent pass if necessary. The 6-inch width provides a large surface area for flattening stock or deburring large plates, while the 48-inch length fits standard floor-standing belt sanders commonly found in maintenance and repair organizations (MRO).

Durability is key in a welding environment. The ZK713X features a heavy cloth backing that resists fraying at the edges and snapping under load. This means you can apply the pressure needed to get the job done without worrying about premature belt failure. Whether you are prepping stock for welding or cleaning up a finished fabrication, VSM belts deliver the reliability you need to keep your workflow moving efficiently.

Why Welders Choose VSM ZK713X:

• Aggressive Cut: Removes weld reinforcement and heavy mill scale rapidly.
• Long Life: Zirconium grain outlasts standard abrasives, reducing downtime for belt changes.
• Cooler Grinding: Helps reduce heat buildup on heat-sensitive materials like stainless steel.
• Shop Standard: Fits common 6x48 belt sanders used for general fabrication tasks.
