Thread: 6x50 Sandpaper Rolls

    6x50 Sandpaper Rolls

    After doing a bit of research, I have been unable to find rolls this size made by Norton, Mirka, and several other manufacturers. Though I admit it is totally possible that I simply didn't look in the right places! Those of you using this size paper in your drum sander, what brand are you finding to work best when sanding primarily hardwoods?

    Have you tried Klingspor? What type of backing do you need? Plain, H&L?

    are these inch size? are they special ends or could you simply cut down a 50 foot roll?

    Try Online Industrial Supply. I don't know if they have that size but they always have anything I'm looking for. Prices are good and shipping is fast.

    Foot size. No taper. Multiple cuts out of one roll.

    Yes. Thanks. Another local cabinetmaker uses them and is happy with them too.

    I thought sanders maxed out around 4 foot wide. I had no idea they went to 6 foot wide. Bet that paper costs a fortune. No wonder you are asking for good prices and long lasting.
