Use it when
The fit is obvious.
- · Choose belts when stock removal speed matters more than delicacy and the job starts rough.
- · Choose belts when hardwood, metal, or rough shaping would make sheets feel slow immediately.
Skip it when
The job asks for something else.
- · Skip belts when the surface is already close to finish quality and you only need refinement.
- · Skip belts when heat, aggression, and fast material removal are more risk than advantage.
- · Skip it if you are solving a very different stage of the sanding sequence than this product was picked for.
- · Skip it if you already know you want the premium option and do not want a compromise purchase.
