Kozzy Posted November 3, 2015 Share Posted November 3, 2015 I took a look and those prices seem a little too good. Chinese imports? Looks like your best bet is to order a couple to test and let us know Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kozzy Posted November 3, 2015 Share Posted November 3, 2015 Well, I personally swear by Klingspor abrasives but the prices in your site look pretty tempting for some things. If I weren't such a lazy bum I'd do a side by side comparison to see. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ianinsa Posted November 4, 2015 Share Posted November 4, 2015 I second the comment about Klingspor though pherd is possibly much better :) Klingspor however has a lousy business ethics that use/encourages lateral collusion to keep prices high so I try to avoid their products wherever possible just out of principle!

phabib Posted November 5, 2015 Share Posted November 5, 2015 In the US, I have bought custom sized belts from Industrial Abrasives in PA and been very pleased. Can someone explain the Klingspor issue? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Can someone explain the Klingspor issue? I buy cases and cases of 2x72's from them.. doesn't hurt that it's only a little over half an hour drive either to just pick them up. They assemble all the belts on site and can do custom belts as well. I also grab a box every few years of their scraps by the pound.. all assorted grits (although they ask me what range I'm looking for) - I get something like 15lbs of paper for $15.. the other nice part about just going in person is the stuff they don't advertise, my last trip I got 50 sheets of 1200 grit for $5. The owner is awesome and will gladly search her sources for hard to find abrasives that they don't make as well,. J Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
