Belt Sander’s belt keeps breaking

27/01/2026, 19:52

Align the belt in the correct direction
Belt sanding belts have an overlapping joint that must be fitted properly. 
• Follow the directional arrows printed inside the belt. 
• Match the belt arrows with the arrows on the tool. 
• Arrow positions vary by model—incorrect alignment can cause the belt to break at the joint. 

Use high-quality belts 
Low-quality or off-brand belts can fail prematurely. 
• Always use high-quality, compatible belts recommended for your tool. 

Avoid excessive pressure 
Applying too much force can overload the motor and damage the sander. 
• Let the sander do the work—apply light, even pressure for best results. 

Select the correct grit 
Using the wrong grit for your material can cause unnecessary wear. 
• Choose the appropriate grit for the material and task. 

Use on compatible materials 
Belt sanders are designed for specific applications. 
• Ideal for large flat surfaces such as floorboards, decks, doors, and furniture restoration. 
• Avoid using on materials not intended for belt sanding to prevent damage.
