What grit sander belt for WW BHs

For those that use a belt sander to set the angles on their WW broadheads... what grit belt are you using? I can get 120s here around the house but I am sure I can order finer grits.

It seems like a light hand is required to keep the edges level and parallel as well as prevent from grinding the head away.

Thanks for the help.

I don't use a belt sander but use automotive sandpaper laid flat on a countertop.  I start with 400 grit, then go to 600 grit, then Arkansas stone for my Snuffers.

120 would probably be fine for leveling the bevels.

Agreed, 120 will do fine, I use an older used belt...its less grabby...

I would do a combination of the above. Use 120 on the belt sander. Get your bevels where you want. Then use the automotive wet dry on a table top. 4, 6, 800 will make them polished and sharp

I have hollow ground mine for years on a piece of 8 inch pvc using the same step down with automotive paper.
After you get the first burr, you won't believe how sharp you can get them.
