[quote="jondann"] Four 3.75" faceplates are too much, as are nine sanding discs.
Hey Jondann, I am looking to buy a faceplate or two. I want to try turning a bowl or two.

I've got 2, 12 inch sanding discs, plus an 8 inch. (8 by 10 sandpaper is DIRT CHEAP, compared to 12 inch circles!) I've also got a 6 inch faceplate. (6 inch P&S automotive sanding discs are even cheaper!)

As has been said earlier, if you "need" to get rid of them, email me and I'll send my address.
