I do the same, Using an old plastic (like hard polythene) file handle, works great on sanding belts or discs,just seconds and ready to go again good as new (well almost)

If sanding aluminium spray the disc or belt with wd40 or antispatter spray stops them clogging.

I use silicone spray or tallow fat on tungsten tipped blades to stop them clogging.
