Thread: Bulk Sandpaper?

Jim, thats going to be a problem spot for me as the small Dilbert cubicle shop is in one room for now. My wood lathe which will be used for finishing has no other place to be. I have a dust collector and a small portable construction site air filter. I'm going to wipe everything down and run those as long as it takes to clear the room and keep my fingers and toes crossed. I know no matter how hard you try, there'll still be airborne...

I'll add a couple points here. I think anything over 2000 grit is a waste of time and money. Once at 2, go to compound and glaze.3 is not going to hurt you; however if you have truly removed the 1000 grit marks before you finish with 2, you will be able to get a shine on the clear with your bare hand. Just polish it from there. Also, avoid the cheap no-name paper, and ALWAYS get the wet-dry stuff, even if you do not plan to use it wet....

go to your local body shop and buy some from them, you can get most of that in rolls or boxs and body shops get a great deal on it (i used to work in one) or sometimes youll find a tech that will sell you some out of his box.

I will order from Bullet next time, seems they have just about every grit that Online does with the exception of a couple and they're a bit cheaper too. Maybe I'm overkill on the grits but I was going to order, 400, 600, 800, 1000, 1200, 1500, 2000, 2500 and 3000. If this is overkill, let me know what I can...
