A customer once placed a laser-cut part on the table and asked us:
“Which sanding belt should I use for this?”
The honest answer was: it depends.
A 40-grit belt can quickly remove heavy laser slag, but it may be too aggressive for precision sheet metal. A 180-grit belt creates a finer finish, but it will struggle with large burrs.
Our usual starting points are:
🔹 Heavy burrs or laser slag: 40 → 80 grit🔹 Standard laser-cut parts: 80 → 120 grit🔹 Precision sheet metal: 120 → 180 grit🔹 Brushed finishes: 180 → 300 → 600 grit
There is no single sanding belt for every part. Material, thickness, burr size and the required finish all matter—which is why we prefer testing real customer samples before recommending a setup.
