Sandpaper?

[RJD2]

I am looking for a source that sells good quality/price of wet/dry sandpaper in larger quantities/selection that could be found in harware store. Purchasing 3M or Norton in 5 sheet packs is expensive. I would appreciate it if someone would recommend a seller on eBay, or a product from another retailer that they have had good experience with. Thanks.

Klingspor is an option I've heard good words about. I've only just looked through their catalog though.

+1 on Klingspor.

Klingspor is reliable and good quality, but you might want to try comparing prices, especially on non-sandpaper items. I find their prices to be excessive on most other products.
Comparing sandpaper to theirs is difficult though, because they don't use the conventional brands like Norton. I believe they either manufacture themselves or buy from relatively obscure places/manufacturers.

Check your local phone book for a local supplier to auto body shops. They will have a wide selection of types, grits, sizes and manufacturers.

I've had very good luck with www.abrasivesales.com

It wouldn't hurt to spend a little time going through the yellow pages. I buy most of my paper from Abrasives South - they deal with commercial products and I can get a box full of end rolls for a few dollars. The only drawback is that they don't always have a large variety of grits ... the paper is commercial quality though.

edit: they don't list these in their catalogue so I had to ask

The last time I ordered sandpaper it was from Holbren. He carries the Norton 3X brand.

my favorite sand"paper" now is Abranet , made by Mirka . search that on ebay.grits from 60 to 600 or so (then theres abralon from 500 to 4,000!) .its fantastic for woodturning especially...think of it like abrasive screen-door material, its a mesh so the dust falls right through and doesnt clog up..also lasts way longer than any paper i've used.
well worth the price. i bought a box of each grit like 3 years ago,still got plenty of it.

klingspor does also carry it, but better prices on ebay
