What Belt Grinders Do Our 2X42 Knife Making Belts Work With?
Our 2X42 knife making belts are universal and can work with any 2 X 42 inch belt grinder. Popular brands include Bucktool, Jet, Norse, Granger, Palmgren, and Craftsman. If you’re not sure what size belts your grinder uses, you can often find the belt size listed on a label on the grinder itself. If you have old belts for your grinder, you can also cut an old belt, lay it down flat and measure it to get the proper belt size as well.
