2" x 72" X-weight Aluminum oxide belts are some of the most common and versatile belts you can buy and are incredibly affordable. These belts are not that rigid but are slightly more flexible than a zirconia or ceramic sanding belt. These are typically used to sand everything including the handle, bevel, plunge ines, bolster, tang, scales etc. You can literally sand everything on a knife using an aluminum oxide X-weight belt. 2" x 72" J-flex Aluminum oxide sanding belts are primarily used when SLACK belt sanding handles where you are fine finishing or slack belt sanding the edges of the blade where you have more push to work into the edges. J-flex belts typically don't last quite as long as A/O X-weight belts because of their softer backing so it is recommended to purchase the J-flex belts and use them for specific purposes. J-flex belts are also the same material used for making 1" x 72" scalloped edge belts which are used specifically for sanding curvy handles where a 2 x 72" is either too big or will cut/slit into the handle materials. J-flex belts belts can be used on stainless steel, steel, aluminum, wood, epoxy, or plastics such as G10. J-flex belts are typically only for fine finish.
