This is covered in the KMG training class. You have taken the required training class, right? Reach out to @team_blacksmithing for instruction.
If you look up the KMG on the Tools Wiki, there is some helpful material there on abrasive belt selection as well.

If you’d like some orientation prior to the class, there is (was?) a copy of the KMG Training slides in a blue binder on the shelf next to the powder coat oven and also in digital form in the Blacksmithing Commitee folder on the Shared Drive.

If anyone needs instruction on the KMG I will be happy to do so. Far too many people use it that have not been checked out on it
