I just bought a new belt grinder and need to know the best place for belts. I don't want any "bargain" belts of low quality. Thank you for your help.:D

I just bought mine from Pop's knife Supply. Best prices I found and second to non service. Mrs. packed and shipped mine within 45min. of my purchase so they will be here tomorrow so I can play.
 
I highly recommend Supergrit. They have good prices and good quality stuff. I'm biased since they're 30 minutes away from me, but they've always treated me well.

I like Pop's. I love the Klingspor J-Flex. They're very smooth to grind with.
 
Thank you. I think I'll go with Pop's so far. I keep hearing great things about them. Any others I should look at?

www.trugrit.com as well as Supergrit. Trugrit has the Blaze belts which from what I hear eat up the metal faster than anything. Supposedly the 50 grit Blaze works better than 36 grit standard.
 
I know. I'll just buy a little from Pop's, Supergrit, and Trugrit to see which one I like the best. Thank you everyone! :D

Wow! That works. Thanks Barkes. Time to go shopping. I got a good chunk of money from the Air Force from a TDY I had just got back from. My Boss (Wife, The Keeper of the Mullah) said I can use ALL of it for knife making :D :D :D:thumbup: since our tax refund was so big this year. Man I love that woman!

I get mine from pop's super guy to deal with. His wife is great too.

can to help you out.

Be aware that 36, 50 grits are unforgiving. Both in taking off one's skin/flesh/bones AND, most importantly, leaving really deep scratches
that are a b1tch to clean up. It is OK to start with these grits to hog,
but do switch to 80 as soon as you beging approaching final dimensions.

I bought a bunch from trugrit. I also buy throwaways from McMaster - they
sell "generic" Al-oxide Nortons, very inexpensive.

As you go to finishing grits, having a good belt from top manufacturer
is VERY important. If a speck of 36 grit ends up embedded into your finishing
grit, you might ruin a knife .
