I have some orphan sanding belts that I don't think would fit any currently popular machines. I had planned to try selling on eBay and Craig's List, but the sizes seem too obscure to have much hope.
3 belts (30x102) 120 grit 3M Three-M-ite Resin Bond Cloth 241D (I've included a picture below)
6 belts 4x76.5 36 grit Regal Resin Bond Cloth
Last week I watched a video by Jimmy DiResta (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=yqPe8eP94vE) where he added several pieces of sandpaper to a 24x24 flat surface and then rubbed the box top and the lid bottom to sand all 4 'WALLS" at the same time.
That was new to me, but it got me thinking it might make sense to cut up those 30" wide belts into large flat sheets - I am ignoring the diagonal seam because I am too lazy to go check it until I hear your suggestions.
30x30 - 3 per sheet + 1 @ 30x12
24x24 - 3 per sheet + 1 @ 30x12 + 3 @ 24x12
15x30 - 6 per sheet + 1 @ 30x12 (this is what I am leaning toward - it would fit on some existing 12" deep shelves, although I cannot foresee what I would use them for.).
The 4 x 76.5 belts - I don't use 36 grit very often - total of 72 4x6 pieces!
Any suggestions? Thank you very much!
PS - I really hate throwing stuff away. If you don't have any ideas, I will list them for FREE on CL.
