Dave,
My name is Al BTW.
The term Guru, in my opinion, is a matter of perspective. Since you have considerably more knowledge than I do on heat treating, and have been sharing that knowledge with less informed individuals, then you can be considered a Guru on the subject.
I will definitely check those different belts out. It deserves a cost to durability analysis against what I have been using.
I also have one of those 4x36 belt sanders. I use it mainly for woodworking, but also use it to profile shape my guards. I do finish work on the guards with files and a Dremel tool.
Yes, I used compressed air while holding the quench plates down for at least 5 minutes.
Jim,
Found Zoro's web site, no sale right now, will check out Amazon for other sites that may have them cheaper.
