Abrasive Belts Robert Sorby ProEdge are designed specifically for the PROEDGE Sharpening System.   Including Aluminium Oxide, Ceramic, Zirconium and Trizact

Central to the Robert Sorby ProEdge is an abrasive belt which is a quick and efficient method of putting a keen edge on all of your tools. Cool running belts reduce the risk of any overheating when in use.

Abrasive belts are a lot less expensive than abrasive wheels, run cooler and are available in a range of quick-change belt grits. Heavier grits such as 60 grit will re-profile damaged tools and finer grits such as Trizact 3000 will produce a finely polished sharp edge.

Aluminium Oxide available in 3 grits:

• 60 Grit (PE60A)
• 120 Grit (PE120A)
• 240 Grit (PE240A)

A common abrasive designed primarily to sharpen carbon steel tools such as axes, chisels, carving tools and plane irons but will also hone harder high speed steel tools.

The material longevity of an aluminium oxide belt is at the lower end of the abrasives scale, but makes an excellent economical choice.

Work your way through grit sizes (heavier grits for the removal of more material) to achieve a fine finish with a 240 grit.

Ceramic available in 2 grits:

• 60 Grit (PE60C)
• 120 Grit (PE120C)

Hardwearing material which is good to re-profile damaged tools.  60 grit is an efficient option to remove plenty of material while the 120 grit will provide a good finish. Great longevity and a practical choice.

Zirconium available in 2 grits

• 60 Grit (PE60Z)
• 120 Grit (PE120Z)

Designed for HSS tools. The 60 grit will tackle the most damaged surface and 120 grit will produce a rewarding cutting edge and finish.

Trizact available in 3 grits:

• 600 Grit (PE600T)
• 1200 Grit (PE120T)
• 3000 Grit (PE3000T)

The abrasive belt material is designed to handle most types of steel especially knives, and are the correct length for the ProEdge ensuring a perfect fit.
