Sanding belt Metabo 3 50 x 1020 mm P 120 DGS Red

Metabo 3 sanding belts 50 x 1020 mm P 120 DGS Red are abrasive belts designed for fine sanding of a range of materials including aluminium, general metals, plastics and rubber. Each pack contains three belts with a P120 grit size, produced to fit machines that accept 50 x 1020 mm sanding belts. The DGS backing and the specified abrasive provide consistent material removal and a controlled surface finish suitable for both professional workshops and home DIY projects.

Advantages

The combination of P120 grit and DGS backing delivers uniform abrasion and reduced clogging when working on softer metals and non-ferrous surfaces. The belts are available in a standard 50 x 1020 mm size for easy replacement and compatibility with many handheld and benchtop belt sanders. Their red color identifies them for fine sanding tasks, helping users select the appropriate belt quickly.

Suitable for

• Smoothing and preparing aluminium and other non-ferrous metals
• Shaping and finishing plastic components
• Refining rubber and composite parts
• Light metal deburring and surface blending

Key specifications

• Dimensions: 50 x 1020 mm
• Abrasive grit: P 120

How to use

Fit the sanding belt onto a compatible belt sander following the sander manufacturer’s instructions, ensuring correct tracking and tension before operation. Start sanding at low-to-moderate feed pressure, move the workpiece or sander evenly across the belt to avoid gouging, and maintain steady motion for a uniform finish. Replace belts when abrasive performance declines or when damage appears to avoid uneven results.

Recommendations

For best results on aluminium and soft metals, use moderate pressure and keep the belt moving to prevent heat buildup and clogging. Where possible, use dust extraction and appropriate personal protection such as eye protection, gloves and a dust mask. Store belts in a dry, stable environment away from direct sunlight and extreme temperatures to preserve backing flexibility and abrasive integrity.
