Move to 120 grit for blending and feathering. Use 180-220 grit for final prep before primer. For paint removal, 60-80 grit cuts fastest. Aluminum oxide belts offer the best value; ceramic belts last 3-4x longer on metal.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"faq-item\" style=\"margin-bottom:15px;\"\u003e\n\u003ch4 style=\"margin-bottom:5px;color:#1e293b;\"\u003eCan the LE-BS-706B sand curved and contoured surfaces?\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cp style=\"margin:0;color:#475569;\"\u003eYes. The 1\/2\" narrow belt is specifically designed for contour work. Use the exposed belt section (where belt wraps around the idler wheel) for concave surfaces and inside radii.

Compared to the larger LE-BS-708B (3\/4\" x 20-1\/2\"), the 706B trades sanding coverage for access to confined areas. Compared to air die grinders with sanding attachments, the belt sander provides more consistent, flat contact and faster material removal across linear surfaces.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Pro Air Tools","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":48572053291223,"sku":"LE-BS-706B","price":161.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0819\/1911\/5479\/files\/le-lematec-le-bs-706b-air-belt-sander-hero-view_webp.jpg?v=1777773334","url":"https:\/\/swiftcove-3.myshopify.com\/products\/le-bs-706b-air-belt-sander-1-2-x-13-fast-precise-sanding","provider":"Swiftcove","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
