I get my abrasives here: "http://www.onlineindustrialsupply.com/" They have quality stuff and good prices (no Chinese junk). A fifty dollar order gets free shipping. They have rolls of both Velcro and PSA backed paper in many grits, and also lots of cloth backed sandpaper. I use a lot of the Velcro paper on my 3 inch soft pad pneumatic sander.

Thanks, John. I'll give them a try. I was a bit surprised by their one page web site. Do they only accept phone orders or ?? |

Welcome to ArtMetal, Joe!
Welcome to ArtMetal, Joe!
I get a lot of my abrasives at http://www.trugrit.com/
For the 2x72 belts I use on my 2hp belt grinder, I tend to stick with brands like Norton, 3M and Klingspoor for the most part, though I'll buy just about any brand when it comes to 9x12 sheet. abrasives.
I live in the tropics, so I have to keep my belts in the refrigerator or the humidity kills the adhesive in the joints too soon.
