We ordered two different sizes of custom belts for a vintage sander owned by my husbands father who had passed. The belts are perfect and it’s so special to keep that sander going! The team was responsive and helpful anytime I asked questions. Thank you! ..

These have been the best belts we've found for our needs. We are milling aluminum and use them on our belt sander to clean edges. They last much longer than other options we've tried prior! Fast shipment and great pricing. ..

The blade fits my experienced B/D hobby saw. It cuts well and I'm able to run the saw as it was intended with both tyres installed.
I would like to note that both Ryan and Rob exceeded expectations in their service with me.
My compliments to both. All on line vendors should take lessons.
Thanks..
