Where are there others if this is but some of the ones available?

Are any of the new abrasives compatible to the Shopsmith Belt Sander and Sanding Disks?

I like the 'Begin the Journey' videos, and they have 'SawDust Sessions' videos in larger format, but I don't know if all of them are there.

Cool site anyway!

Checked the storage system link - look like those that were discontinued. Dated 9/04. Have not checked the part # yet. Have now = not found*****

Gray on gray hard for me to read.

Looking up indeed!

***** apparently those are the same links as are on the 'previous' site = (lotta out of date stuff) Not good to be exposing 'new' potential customers to that which is no longer available! But then those are 'manuals links.

I would guess that there won't be. These abrasives are advertised to last up to 4 times longer, while the green ceramic sanding accessories already available for the disk and belt sander are stated to last 5 to 10 times longer. Reading the descriptions for both abrasives, I don't think they are the same underlying material.

I was surprised that the "Shopsmith" abrasives being sold are not the green ceramic versions.

My guess - $$$$$$$$$$ Also they may be merely selling a vendor's wares under the ss brand. May also be a joint effort with Lowe's. Who knowes?

I think you might be telling me that Shopsmith is already selling sanding supplies that are an upgrade to what I have in the shop. This might be the downside of "stocking up during specials". A year or so ago, I spent a bundle on sanding supplies. I may never need to place an order for belts or disks again.

It does appear that they have belts that should work with the belt sander on this page.
