My experience with the cheap sandpaper is the same as Andy's. I
bought as few packs of assorted grits at HF last year and the packs
just sit in a drawer unless I have something dirty and ugly to sand.
The paper only lasts seconds before it is clogged and the grit falls
off. It's cheap, and almost to the point of being unuseable.
However, I also bought some rolls of emery cloth sandpaper that are
about 1" wide to use on lathe projects. It seems to be OK and will
last a little while before it's useless. Hope your dollar store has
better sandpaper than HF and enjoy the warm fuzzies. --dave


I bought the box of assorted roll ends and trimmings from Klingspor
sometime a year or two ago, for no more than $20, to use with turnings,
etc. First rate product at a really cheap price, and, at the rate I'm
using it, the grandkids will get to argue over it after the funeral.
