Belt life is directly related to multiple issue, matter being sanded, belt material, belt grit, belt speed and a few others, thing.
Good quality belts are very important, I use most of the time is a 50 grit, zirconium oxide, fabric back, made by Carborundum. One of my suppliers, sells that belt to a steel company, who make barrels for the M-16, they use the belt during the foundry operation. The supplier buys them by the truck load, so I get a real good price.
I use the different size radius wheels all the time, allows you to get into the tight spots to get a good edge finish.
