47-Piece 1/2″ x 12″ Knife Sharpener Sanding Belt Kit for Work Sharp Knife & Tool Sharpener (WSKTS & WSKTS-KT/Mk.1 & Mk.2) – Multiple Grits

Cost Efficient Sanding Belts For Sharpening on a Budget
As someone who uses sandpaper several times a week at home or at work, I can confidently say these replacement belts are a solid choice. They’re affordable and fit perfectly with my Work Sharp Knife & Tool Sharpener. Just remember, let the paper do its job without pushing too hard, and these belts will last you a good while. They nearly match the quality of the original belts that came with the sharpener, though the glue on these seems a bit weaker. I’m not sure they’ll hold up as long as the official ones, but considering their price, it’s a fair trade-off. They also cleanup well when you use a rubber cleaning stick to remove any buildup from the belts.Although I haven’t used them extensively yet, it’s clear that materials like these will wear out over time. Still, finding a quality product at a reasonable price is always appreciated, especially for those of us into hobby knife and tool sharpening. At the price point this kit hits the mark.—Product: 47-Piece 1/2″ x 12″ Knife Sharpener Sanding Belt Kit for Work Sharp Knife & Tool Sharpener (WSKTS & WSKTS-KT/Mk.1 & Mk.2) – Multiple GritsASIN: 

Inconsistent thickness/stiffness of belts
I got these belts for my Worksharp Tool & Knife sharpener (MK 1). The assortment of grits is quite nice, but a little unnecessary, you really only need the 80/240/maybe 800/5000 grits. However, because the belts are from all different manufacturers, and are just cut and taped together, they are of varying thicknesses and flexibility.The 80 & 120 & 800 grits are very thick and rock hard, with very little flexibility, it makes the Worksharp motor whine much louder and strained. The 240 belt was consistently similar to the Worksharp belt in thickness and flexibility. The 1000~5000 grit belts were very thin and soft/flexible…but doesn’t give me confidence they would last more than a few uses. The 5000 grit belts also came smushed/creased and the cloth backing looked frayed…again not boding well for longevity.This seems to be a common problem with aftermarket replacement belts. I do just end up buying the Worksharp branded belts for the important 220/6000 grits. I rarely use the 80 grit and are still on my original belts that came with the sharpener.

Great replacement belts
These are great belts for my Work Sharp sharpener. They are pretty much the same as the ones that came with the unit, and they work great. There is also a better selection of belts and grits. They are durable and easily identified from each other. They are well made and do exactly what you want them to do. I easily recommend these.
