Source for oddball sanding belts?
Good afternoon folks,
I'm trying to find a few belts 610 x 38mm (2ft x 1.5ins) in grits ranging from 180 to 600 or more and I'm struggling. 610 is a fairly common length, 38 width is uncommon. I could use narrower belts, anything from 30 to 38mm, but that is not ideal. Could possibly use 75mm wide and try to bisect them. Also struggling with the grits I require. Prefer al/oxide or silly/carbide. Could buy rolls and diy but again that is not ideal as I only need a few of varying grit. This is for a nice *old* merkin machine that will be ideal for the intended task, hence the imperial measurements. Any thoughts please. Thanks, Nick. |

Ya just not thinking outside the box http://www.clarcorpindustrialsales.c...-p/ab11224.htm Many thanks. Au contraire. Outside the box! The way I feel right now, I might be in one sooner than expected. I've have seen the Clarcorp site and a couple of other left pond sites. Don't have any problem with that but was hoping for summat homegrown. Shirley there must be a manufacturer in the uk. Thanks again, Nick. |

The e-commerce software probably comes with the country option as standard and they haven't worked out how to disable the box. Colin Bignell |
