New source for sandpaper

Post by kalynzoo »

I just received a catalog from Supergrit http://www.supergrit.com
I don't remember ordering from them before, but they have some products that interest me, including 12" sanding discs.
Thought I'd share.

I was looking at their discs (both PSA and H&L). Price is about the same as the SS discs, but they offer an extended range of grits: up to 220 for the H&L and 320 for PSA.

Any thoughts on this? The SS "fine" discs give a pretty good finish, but I'm wondering if the 220 or 320 grit would be better for sharpening, or would they wear out too quickly.

We must have been on the same mailing list. I just received the SuperGrit catalog also.

same for me, I can sort of understand when a magazine would sell your name to a possible advertiser, but why would a vendor sell our names to possible competitors

I got one as well. All except Rockler. I suppose it could be from a magazine subscription as well.

I also got their catalog but I did buy from them before. They also have 12" hook and loop conversion discs if anyone is interested.

My S.O. got one of the catalogs too.
The only common vendor is P.S.I.

I don't mind getting catalogs from related product companies.

There is no such thing as an unsafe tool, only unsafe owners. If you make a machine idiot-proof, God will invent a better idiot.
