It's not a bad price. Same price as Peachtree's site.

As I posted in the Ryobi Drum Sander thread in Member Classifieds, noting that my answer applied to the WDS1600:

They will work, but a 35' roll at $16.50 may not be as good of a deal as it seems.

Each "wrap" requires 90" of sandpaper. A 35' roll yields 4 full wraps, plus 60" of waste. That equals $4.12 per "wrap."

Of course, you can use the waste for other sanding operations, or even sharpening by the scary sharp method.

If you order from SuperGrit.com, you can order by the yard.

Ten yards (360") of 150 grit from SuperGrit will cost you $1.40 per yard, or $14.00 with no waste. That equals $3.50 per "wrap."

I don't know what the current shipping rate is. I ordered enough three years ago such that I haven't had to order again. I have no complaints, and their service was great.
