Custom Micro-Mesh Belts Made to Your Specification
We supply Micro-Mesh belts in any length (made-to-order) and up to a maximum width of 12 inches. Every belt can be manufactured in your choice of:
-
Micro-Mesh Regular (Soft plastics, acrylics, coatings)
-
Micro-Mesh MX (Hardwoods, metals, engineered materials)
-
Micro-Mesh AO (Aluminium & non-ferrous metals)
-
Micro-Mesh MXD (Diamond abrasive for the hardest surfaces)
Belts are available in all grades across each Micro-Mesh type — from coarse shaping grades through to ultra-fine 12,000 grit (≈ 1 micron polishing).

Why Choose Micro-Mesh Belts?
Micro-Mesh is a cushioned abrasive engineered for smooth, controlled cutting and superior finish quality. Unlike traditional sandpaper, the abrasive crystals flex and reposition under pressure, creating an exceptionally consistent scratch pattern.

How Micro-Mesh Works
Micro-Mesh is built with a cushioned backing that stabilises the abrasive crystals. When pressure is applied:
-
The crystals recede and rotate, exposing fresh sharp edges
-
Cutting becomes smoother and more controlled
-
Deep scratches are avoided
-
Surface temperature stays low
This advanced structure gives Micro-Mesh its reputation for ultra-fine finishing and outstanding durability.
Grades & Type Selection
We offer four Micro-Mesh types, each suited to different material groups:
Micro-Mesh Regular (Grades 1500 - 12,000)
Ideal for plastics, acrylics, coatings, and delicate substrates.
Micro-Mesh MX (Grades 60 - 1200)
Designed for harder materials including metals, hardwoods, and industrial components.
Micro-Mesh AO (Grades 300 - 12,000)
Optimised for aluminium and non-ferrous metals requiring a bright, controlled finish.
Micro-Mesh MXD (Diamond Abrasive)
For the most difficult surfaces — advanced composites, ceramics, carbides, stone, and hardened metals.

Can Micro-Mesh belts be made in any size?
Yes. We manufacture belts in any length you need, up to a maximum width of 12 inches. Every belt is made to order to ensure accurate sizing and fit.
Which Micro-Mesh type should I choose for my material?
Each Micro-Mesh type is engineered for specific substrates:
-
Regular: Plastics, acrylics, paints, soft finishes
-
MX: Hardwoods, ferrous metals, engineering plastics
-
AO: Aluminium and non-ferrous metals
-
MXD: Ceramics, stone, composites and the hardest surfaces
If you’re unsure, our team can recommend the best option for your application.
What grades are available for Micro-Mesh belts?
All standard Micro-Mesh grades can be produced as belts — from coarser grades for shaping to ultra-fine 12,000 for high-clarity polishing. Availability depends on the Micro-Mesh type you select.
Are Micro-Mesh belts reusable?
Yes. Micro-Mesh is designed to be washed, rinsed and reused. It can be used dry, with water, or with lapping fluid depending on the finish you need.
How long do Micro-Mesh belts last?
Micro-Mesh typically lasts 7–10× longer than standard abrasive belts. The cushioned abrasive structure resists loading, glazing, and premature wear, giving you excellent life per belt.
Can Micro-Mesh belts be used on machines?
Yes. These belts are suitable for hand-held sanders, bench sanders, drum sanders, and other belt-driven finishing tools, depending on the size you request.
What applications are Micro-Mesh belts suitable for?
They are widely used for:
-
Polishing acrylic and polycarbonate
-
Restoring metal surfaces
-
Refinishing wood and instrument components
-
Smoothing composite or fibreglass parts
-
Finishing jewellery, engineering components, and precision parts
Do Micro-Mesh belts run cool?
Yes. The cushioned construction minimises heat build-up, reducing burn-through, distortion and surface stress — especially important on plastics and softer metals.
