I've got a granite block and am set to try the "Scary Sharp" sharpening
technique on my planes and chisels.

I'll evidently require most of the standard grits of Wet or Dry
(silicon carbide) Sandpaper between 100 and 1200 (or so).

I obviously don't need box of 50 sheets of 100 grit, and 50 sheets of
150 grit, etc. (at $17.95 a box...).

Can anyone refer me to a site (or store) where I will be able to buy
several grits in a package (like 100, 150, 220), or (320, 500, 800), or
by the sheet, or any other way that makes more sense for my present
needs.

Thank you,
Bill



Any good hardware store (Lowes and Home Depot don't count) will sell
individual sheets. If none of those around, go to an auto parts store.


You'd be hard pressed to find anything finer than 400 grit at any of the
Borg's in my area. The auto parts store is a better idea. Look in the
automotive painting supplies section of the store.


Yes, At Menards, the ONLY sheets of wet or dry sandpaper in stock were
400 grit. Thanks, Bill
