Any favorite online sources for sandpaper products and hard and soft woods?
These things seem to be vacant or enormously expensive around here.
Thanks.

Seems like I'm buying more and more stuff online as the buying of stuff in
person becomes more and more frustrating / disappointing.

Where's here - generally? Our advice may not be relevant...

Some of the companies on the links carry rolls. Now that My lathe is
working I will probably dig out more suppliers for that stuff.. Someday.

If you do turning, check out the turners "roll end" box... 20 pounds of med and
fine roll ends for less than $30 US...

I generally buy abrasives from Klingspor's
(http://www.woodworkingshop.com/). The only wood I bought on line was
from Hartzell's in Lime Spring IA
(http://www.hartzellwoodstock.bigstep.com/). Both have good product and
service at a reasonable price.

Cape Coral, FL
Was gonna buy some new 4"x36" belts for my sander at Lowes but they want
almost $6 apiece for them.
There has to be a less expensive source.

Nope...as noted by others, Klingspor is about as good as it gets for
individuals not buying large quantity bulk--good quality at
comparatively cheap prices.

I'll note that if you don't use belts at a fairly reasonable rate the
adhesive tape used may fail early on really old belts...For a plethora
of reasons I had one of the assortment boxes that hadn't been used up
for a number of years and when I finally got around to needing them,
they wouldn't hold for more than 5-10 minutes. Conversation w/ Klingspor
technical support revealed they (actually the adhesive manufacturer
from) won't warrant the adhesive for over a year. Long story short,
plan on using what you buy in a couple of years, at most...

But there's no better quality at the price for the individual/small
shop, imo...
