You don't need the 80 grit. 60 and 80 do the same job, just preference as to which you prefer. I find 80 to be a little too fine for hogging metal and 120 cleans up after 60 grit just fine so 80 is unnecessary ...

Ray I was the one that suggested he get a couple of both knowing they do the same job he might prefer one over another so he can take the chance to figure out wich....he mide as well figure it out now

I used 80's 20 years ago but hadn't for at least 15 years so I doubt I recommended them any time recently. I think Kyle should try every belt that catches his attention over the years but obviously no one can afford a sample of every belt right at first. Besides, as your skill level progresses experience may change your mind about what belts to use (as it did with me).
A rubber belt cleaner is something you should have. You could simply order one along with your belts and save yourself a trip to the hardware store ... |
