Default Using your belt backwards.

There I was standing at the belt sander, wondering when I would need a
new belt, when I got to thinking. What if I used the belt the opposite
way to the arrows? The bits of sand or abrasion would be worn on one
side and clean on the other side.
When I decide a belt has had enough, I rip it into 3-4" pieces and use
them for hand sanding. It works no matter what angle I use them at.
So would it make any difference really?
