Sanding belt Coarse grit Makita P-36887

The Makita P-36887 sanding belt is a coarse-grit abrasive designed for heavy material removal and rapid stock removal on wood and metal surfaces. Sized at 100 mm by 610 mm and supplied in a pack of five, this sanding belt is intended for use with compatible belt sanders to accelerate surface preparation, shaping and leveling tasks. The P40 grit delivers aggressive cutting action to remove paint, rust, glue joints and uneven timber quickly while preparing surfaces for subsequent sanding stages.

Advantages

The coarse P40 abrasive grains provide high cutting performance and fast material removal while maintaining consistent belt tracking. Durable backing and resin bond resist tearing and heat buildup during prolonged use. The standardized 100 × 610 mm dimensions ensure interchangeability with many belt sanding machines, and the five-belt pack reduces downtime by providing immediate replacements when belts wear out.

Suitable for

• Rapid stock removal on rough timber and beams
• Paint and rust removal from metal surfaces
• Shaping and leveling of wooden workpieces
• Surface preparation before finer sanding or refinishing
• Removal of adhesive residues and coatings

How to use

Fit the sanding belt onto a compatible belt sander following the machine manufacturer’s instructions, ensuring correct tracking and tension before switching the tool on. Start with light passes to establish a safe working speed and increase pressure only as needed for effective material removal. Maintain even, steady movements along the workpiece to avoid gouging and check the belt condition frequently; replace the belt from the five-pack when abrasive performance diminishes.

Usage recommendations

Use appropriate personal protective equipment such as eye protection, dust mask and hearing protection. For best results on metal, secure the workpiece firmly and use coolant or pauses to prevent overheating. Progress to finer grit belts after initial heavy removal when preparing surfaces for finishing.
