Default Making own Sanding Belts??

If it's similar to HF's attachment, there are a lot of places you can
get these. Generally two sizes, one is 3/8" wide and the other is
1/2". Generally in the die grinder area of the catalogs. Check with
MSC.

I've found the attachments to be fairly handy, but not really up to
serious use. Looking at a pneumatic band filer right now. The
attachments have one good quality, they're cheap! Really nice for
snagging castings.
