    Sanding belts

    Is Econ Abrasives still the best product for the price for Sanding belts (6 x 48")? The last order lasted several years and I don't remember where I got them.

    Thanks in advance

    Mr Kent:

    Don't know them. A number of good suppliers out there. I go to Klingspoor.

    I have not found a place to buy anything on The Klingspor page. Where do you buy them?

    In fact, I have been using all of my break and lunch time to search for this while battling malware on my Mac.
    Can somebody just say "Go here and buy this"? Thanks.

    I use a belt sander 3 times per week for shaping and sanding. I use a belt eraser. I like low price but value high quality over bargain price every time. I'll be getting 80, 150, and 220 grit.

    Thank you Duane. My brain was fried. I might get a few individual belts for around $9 each or the assortment of 11 belts for $71.

    We use Klingspor at work but Still prefer VSM. Both are hard to get without a salesman but you can get them on ebay. Just gotta be patient for a deal. You might also look into 3M. Never looked away on a deal with them...

    Huh - I never noticed that - I type in Klingspoors [yep - mispelled] and go to that site.

    Glad to know they are still there.
