The so-called belt joint usually runs at a 55˚, 57˚, 75˚ angle to the running direction of the belt in order to prevent an abrupt transition at the junction.
The abrasive backing (paper, cloth, plastic) used and the application (machine, contact element, work piece) determine the type of the Abrasive Belt Joint Tape.
