I've needed to replace some of those "expendable" items in the shop so I went over to Lowes this morning. I bought a couple packages of hacksaw blades, two sets of Bosch jig saw blades, a couple of drill bits to replace two I broke, and some 3X sand paper. Cost--$79. No wonder I put off buying these for so long. Does anyone know where you can buy the 3X sandpaper in bulk? In packages of 3 they cost over a $1.30 a sheet. I can buy a contractor pack of regular sandpaper fo $8 which makes the price 32 cents a sheet. I can use four of those for the price of 1 3x so I think I'm behind on the 3x stuff.
