The coarstest belt for sharpening

I don't know exactly what you mean by "for sharpening".   If you have a bunch of metal to remove 60-80 grit will speed the process.  Just keep in mind, and I'm sure that you have found out that it will produce significantly deep scratches.  If you then wish a polished bevel it will be more work and steps to remove them, but it will remove metal quickly.  

"If I decide to make toothy edge with belt, I'll use blaze 120 grit for final stage. I'll upload the image soon."

Cool!  I for one will be interested in seeing your images and hearing what you think of the edge.

grepper, 

Sorry, that's my mistake. I felt that my words were not clear and corrected them after your reply was uploaded. 

As you say, too rough belts make deep scratches. But I worry about another problem.

The 60 grit Blaze makes louder noise than 120 grit Blaze. I thought that the noise was proportional to the impact on the edge.
