Big sheets of sandpaper

Post by nkforster » Sat Mar 07, 2020 4:32 pm

I'm after big sheets of abrasive, minimum 420mm wide. In Europe, I used to buy the sanding belts for wide belt sanders and cut them up. I'm a bit stumped here. Any suggestions?

Thanks fellers. From what I can see, neither of those firms have what I'm after. Nothing bigger than A4.

Those of you who use spherical formers for "driving the bus" where do you get your paper from?

Hi Nick
I have purchased sanding discs 610mm diameter and drive belts for my Jet 16/32 drum sander
that are 410mm wide from the Sandpaper Man in the past, (5-10 years).

You can order from WM Workmate adhesive disc shape paper cut to the diameter size you require. You would need to give them a phone call to arrange a specified order.

Looks like I may well be getting some from China. But I'll be buying quite a bit. 450mm wide. 60 grit. Any use to anyone?
