I’ve been buying sanding supplies at blue box as needed. Now I’m thinking I might save some $$$ if I stock up on larger quantities of the stuff I use the most, such as sanding disks, rolls of sandpaper, and adhesive backed sandpaper.
Any suggestions on where to get good value on good quality sanding supplies would be appreciated.

Re: Sanding Supplies
Just be aware that the adhesive backed stuff has a shelf life. I don't know how long a life but from experience I know that after some time the adhesive is dead. Don't over stock!

Re: Sanding Supplies
If the adhesive dies, I'd think a quick spritz of spray adhesive on the disc would solve the problem.

Yes. I had to do that with the paper for my conical disk. It did the trick.algale wrote:If the adhesive dies, I'd think a quick spritz of spray adhesive on the disc would solve the problem.

Re: Sanding Supplies
I have found that the Diablo 5" sanding disc are about the best I've used.
I would like to know what kind of adhesive spray you guys use on the 12" disc's.i have a batch of old ones with my 10ER that I could use.

Re: Sanding Supplies
Try ACE brand, You'll be surprised at just how good they are.
As to spray adhesive: I've had good luck with 3M #77.

For sheets I get Norton Job Packs for my disk sander and sanding sleeves I use Klingspor's and for belts Shopsmith.
