The front of the belt isnt contacting anything but the knife. I pretty much got them out and sanded down to 400 grit. It took me a total of 2 new 220 belts and 2 new 400 grit belts. Those 4 were norton and 3m belts. I wasnt getting another new gator belt out. I think its due to the belt getting metal on it from the knife but that is awful quick isnt it? I have a stick to clean the belts but I think once I use that they wouldnt be any good for finish work as ot leaves a residue on the for a short while.
