Sandpaper

[Old Salt]

Where is the best place to order sanding discs online? I need 6" 6 hole hook & loop type. My home depot only sells 5", except for whimpy 5 sheet packages.

There is a place in Pennsylvania, as I recall Valley forge, great selection, good prices. Google should find it.

Klingspor is great. Their retail operations is at http://www.woodworkingshop.com/ and the full site is at http://www.klingspor.com/

Quality, german-made abrasives at a reasonable price.

If you want something that's listed in the full catalog but not in the retail site, give the a ring. I did, the transferred me to the local sales rep's cell phone (who was driving down I-5), he took my order — they had to slit a couple of rolls special for me (ceramic alumina stuff)…but, hey, no problem!

5 days later I had the order, along with a Klingspor mug.

That level of service wouldn't surprise me if I had a big order, but it was only a $75 order.

I'll be a repeat customer.

Super Grit - Red Hill Corporation (http://www.supergrit.com/)

Econ Abrasives (http://www.econabrasives.com/index.mv?Screen=Index)

Two good sources for abrasive products, they are usually less expensive than the box stores. Super Grit is in PA and Econ is in TX.

I've used both with good results.
