Every figure below is a manufacturer specification read off the listing itself. The judgments are ours.

What the specification says

Twelve zirconia belts, 100 × 915 mm (3.94 × 36 in), two each of P60, P80, P100, P120, P240 and P320.

Why the size is the story

915 × 100 mm (36 × 3.94 in) is the de facto standard for a bench belt-and-disc sander, which means abrasive is cheap, available from many makers, and will still be available in ten years. A machine that takes an unusual belt costs the same to buy and considerably more to feed — which is why the Scheppach BTS800 review leads on its belt dimensions rather than its motor.

What comes up most often

Does the 120-to-240 jump matter?

On a belt sander, less than it would on a flat panel — the belt leaves a straight scratch pattern that the next grit follows. But it is a real jump, and if the surface will take a clear finish it is worth adding a 180 belt separately.

Zirconia or aluminum oxide?

Zirconia is tougher and cuts faster under pressure, which suits the coarse end of the range and hardwood. Aluminum oxide is cheaper and leaves a slightly finer scratch at the same nominal grit. For a set that spans 60 to 320, zirconia is the sensible compromise.
