What brand of belt sander belts do you all use? Is there appreciable differences in terms of quality and longevity? I will be mainly using 36 grit to approx 120 grit for most of my work.

Mike,

I have purchased abrasives from A&H Abrasives for many years. Their web site is at;

http://customsandingbelts.com/cgi-bin/home.exe

They are associated with Woodworkers Supply and they have made me custom belts in the past for some very odd drums I have had for centuries it seems.

Their phone number is 800-831-6066 in Casper Wyoming. Ask for their free catalog.

I buy out of Kansas City from Skates Belting Supply. They have a 800#. Email me and I'll look it up for you if you need it. Steve

Mike....it's hard to beat a Klingspor planer belt.
