Manufacturing Wide Belts Since 1967
For over five decades, Uneeda has been manufacturing wide sanding belts for the woodworking and metalworking manufacturers across North America. What started in 1967 as a commitment to quality abrasives has grown into one of the widest selections of wide belt solutions in the industry — purpose-built for the demands of real production environments.
Whether you're using paper or cloth backing, aluminum oxide or silicon carbide, every belt we produce is matched to a specific material, machine, and finish requirement. Our wide belt product line delivers exceptional abrasive life across hardwood, softwood, lacquer, veneer, and particle board — with consistent, repeatable performance run after run.
More Than a Belt Supplier
When you work with Uneeda, you get more than abrasives. Our technical team has spent decades in manufacturing facilities — adjusting machines, optimizing grit sequences, and building custom maintenance programs that extend belt life and reduce cost per square foot.
That on-the-floor expertise is now available through our Tech Program — a growing library of application videos, product guides, and direct access to our sanding technicians. The right belt, set up correctly, makes all the difference.
EKA1000 E/F
EKA1000FH is a revolutionary product suited for the sanding of all hard and soft woods. Utilizing Ekamant's 3rd generation of anti-static technology, EKA1000FH achieves a superior quality finish with excellent abrasive life.

Why Uneeda Wide Belts
Built on decades of abrasives expertise while providing some of the highest quality wide belts on the market today.
Your Current Supplier Doesn't Do This.
Most abrasive suppliers take your order and move on. Uneeda doesn't. Every wide belt customer gets access to our Technical Support Program at absolutely no charge — a hands-on service that most companies in this industry simply don't offer. We come to your facility. We look at your machines, your process, and your current results. Then we tell you exactly what to change — and we help you do it. No upsell. No consulting fee. Just real expertise, on your floor, working for you.
Free on-site technician visits
One of our sanding specialists comes to your plant — not a salesperson, a technician. They assess your machines, your current belt setup, and your sanding results firsthand.
Troubleshooting & process optimization
Burning belts too fast? Getting uneven finishes? Loading issues? We diagnose the root cause and fix it — adjusting pressure, grit sequences, machine settings, and belt selection until your process runs right.
Preventative maintenance programs
We build a scheduled maintenance plan tailored to your machines and production volume — so small issues don't become costly downtime, and your belts last as long as possible.
Ongoing support — not just at the sale
Questions after the switch? Need a second visit? Our technicians remain available by phone and on-site for the life of your relationship with Uneeda. We don't disappear after the first order.
