Hi guys,
Does anyone know where a good night making supply house is on the East Coast I'm in the New York area and it takes a long time when I Warder from a place let's say in Arizona.
I am mainly looking for abrasive belts 2" x 72" and I am a beginner so I was told that 3M is a good brand to go by just not sure which one of the 3M is the Cuba Tron or the ceramic belt I don't know if they have one or two varieties of the ceramic belts but I was going to go for the better type of belts.
Any advice on anything else that would be important I would be greatly appreciated so far I just ordered five belts of 50 and 80 and 120 and 220 and I have two types of compound for two felt belts for polishing that's it.
Do I need a belt cleaner?
Thanks,
Jon
 
Pop's is in GA. If he is wanting something even closer and just looking primarily for belts, Supergrit is in PA.
I'm still struggling to understand the reasoning here though. With all the options for shipping available, and maybe I'm wrong here, but I can't see standard shipping taking any more than 1 maybe 2 days longer for across the country as opposed to down the street. As a beginner, I would think that shopping around for the best deals would be far more important than next day delivery. The actual shipping cost is what kills me, not the wait, especially on smaller orders.

There is a full list of suppliers conveniently located in the stickies for your viewing pleasure.
Good luck,
Chris
 
I never noticed any shipping delay in ordering from any company in the continental US. I order from companies in LA, CA,WA, and IL weekly, and all come the next day or in two-three days ( depending on the shipping method I request). Some companies get around to actually shipping it out faster than others, but once it gets into the USPS hands, it gets where it is destined in a day or two. Pop's ( James Poplin) is a great guy. He ships fast. Aldo Bruno ( New Jersey Steel Baron) is a steel supplier in NJ, and he ships fast also.
