Some of the best advice I ever received as a new knife maker was to treat belts like they were free. This is especially true for the 60 grit ceramics that I use for the initial grind on a blade. My basic rule is "one blade, one belt". The used belt will be saved for profiling the next blade and then tossed. If that seems wasteful at first you'll change your mind after that dull belt ruins the grind that was almost finished and you have to scrap the blade...
