I was addressing the original poster's comment, Stan , thegeek and I all seemed to post in the same instant.

I did not see and was not referring to Supergrit.


The original post used
truegritabrasives.com rather than http://www.trugrit.com/

They are not the same and I consider truegritabrasives.com to be riding the good reputation of the original Truegrit.com with a similar name designed to be deceptive.

Good to know. Somebody may want to make a change in the sticky thread for newbs, as it only lists the truegritabrasives.com site. Which is part of what led to my initial confusion. :)

If you shop at trugrit, my suggestions are the 36grit zirconia's, 60 grit ceramics, 120 grit ceramic or equivalent gator, then the gators from there to 400 or the new 600 they're offering. In my experience the gator's do a better job for our purposes (at this size) than other options for putting a belt finish on. After that, any other belts you want to try. I like the lighter weight 309J style belts for some work but usually just get them in 120 grit and a very fine grit.

+1. I got the 36 grit zirconia for hoggin, then the rest are ceramics from Trugrit.

My next set of belts will be 36 and 60 in ceramic, the rest in 3M Gator up to 600.
 
Just wanted to chime in and say that I had a pretty great experience with supergrit last month. Ordered about $100 worth of 2x42 belts from them, and they included a giant free sampler of bizzaro sandpaper sheets, 1/3 sheets, and 1/4 sheets - probably like 25 pieces in all. All sorts of oddball things like lubricated AO paper, weird Zirconia stuff, etc.

Not saying that you should count on a free sample pack, just thought it was sorta fun.
 
Ok, I am ordering my belts right now. :)

Can anyone tell me what exactly this is: "2x42-SB AMED Surface Conditioning" ?

I can't find any info on it other than its price, $16.95

-Thanks,
Bryan
 
Yeah, that's the medium scotch brite belt. Should work good. You'll have to cut off some of the bottom guard to get it to run right, and I assume you already tossed the entire "cover" on the right side.
