Manufactured by VSM, a global leader in high-quality abrasives, the ZK713X series features a robust Zirconium Alumina grain bonded to a sturdy cloth backing. This combination delivers exceptional tear resistance and durability, making it suitable for high-contact pressure operations often found in metalworking and fabrication environments.<\/p>\n<p>Zirconium Alumina is renowned for its self-sharpening properties. As the belt is used, the grain fractures to reveal new, sharp cutting edges, ensuring a consistent cut rate throughout the life of the belt. This specific 60 grit variant is ideal for intermediate grinding stages, effectively removing stock, weld seams, and heavy burrs while preparing the surface for finer finishing steps. The sturdy cloth backing provides the necessary support to prevent stretching and tearing, ensuring safety and reliability during operation.<\/p>\n<p>These belts are engineered for versatility and can be used on a variety of materials, including carbon steel, stainless steel, and aluminum. The 6&#8243; x 48&#8243; size is a standard dimension for many stationary belt sanders and drum sanders used in industrial settings. Whether you are deburring machined parts or smoothing out rough castings, the VSM ZK713X belt offers the performance and longevity required by professional tradespeople.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Key Technical Benefits:<\/strong><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li><strong>Self-Sharpening Grain:<\/strong> Zirconium grain continuously fractures to maintain sharpness.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Heavy-Duty Backing:<\/strong> Sturdy cloth construction resists tearing under tension.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Consistent Finish:<\/strong> Uniform grain distribution ensures a predictable surface profile.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Versatile Application:<\/strong> Suitable for both dry and wet grinding applications depending on machine capability.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Cloth backing from extremely flexible to extremely sturdy.\n\nOptimum stretching behavior.\n\nPaper backing from 70g\/m2 -300g\/m2.\n\nHigh tear strength of belt joint.\n\n5 pieces per package.","protected":false},"featured_media":0,"template":"","meta":{"_acf_changed":false},"product_brand":[],"product_cat":[2000,2007],"product_tag":[],"class_list":{"0":"post-1785927","1":"product","2":"type-product","3":"status-publish","5":"product_cat-abrasives","6":"product_cat-drum-and-flap-wheels","7":"pa_brand-vsm","8":"pa_dia-2770","9":"pa_grit-364","10":"pa_length-in-2662","11":"pa_packaging-description-5-per-package","12":"pa_packaging-description-5-per-pak","13":"pa_thickness-n-a","14":"pa_used-to-sand-steel-or-stainless-or-aluminum","15":"pa_width-in-635","17":"first","18":"onbackorder","19":"taxable","20":"shipping-taxable","21":"purchasable","22":"product-type-simple"},"acf":[],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/josefgases.com\/stage\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/product\/1785927","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/josefgases.com\/stage\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/product"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/josefgases.com\/stage\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/product"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/josefgases.com\/stage\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=1785927"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"product_brand","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/josefgases.com\/stage\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/product_brand?post=1785927"},{"taxonomy":"product_cat","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/josefgases.com\/stage\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/product_cat?post=1785927"},{"taxonomy":"product_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/josefgases.com\/stage\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/product_tag?post=1785927"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
