Most shops do not replace their wide-belt; they add brush sanding for the work the belt was never good at. Here is how the transition typically goes.
Raised panels, profiled rails, moldings, curved parts, and anything needing between-coat denibbing. If operators are hand-sanding these after the belt, that is the work to migrate.
Send us sample parts. We run them on the appropriate machine, at the grit sequence we would recommend, and return them. Judge the finish on your parts, not a demo board.
The F-series pneumatic tools (from $775) use the same flap wheel technology at the bench. Many shops prove the finish quality this way before buying an automatic machine.
Coarse 60 to 80 grit for raw-wood work, 120 to 150 for sealer sanding, 180 to 220 for denibbing between finish coats. The flap wheel guide covers slot count and trim height.
QuickWood hubs are re-flappable: you stock replacement flap strips, not whole wheels. Abrasives ship within 48 hours from Florida, so most shops keep one changeover set on the shelf.
Your wide-belt keeps calibrating. Your finish line keeps running. Brush sanding slots in between machining and finishing, or between coats.
