I need a 320 grit or higher 3" x 18" sanding belt. Or a
variety/assortment pack that includes at least one 320 grit
sanding belt. Amazon has 10 for $21 (shipped), but here that would
be a waste of about eight of those belts. I need at most two or
three, and can get by with one for now. I don't mind paying more
per belt for fewer belts.
Or maybe I should just pay the $21 and forget about the waste of
belts.
Thanks.

I ordered three 3 x 18 aluminum oxide closed coat 600 grain/grit
sanding belts from (http://customsandingbelts.com/abrasive.asp)
If everything goes well, they should last for months or more,
here. Making them sounds fun, but I need few.
Thanks to the replies.

I STRONGLY recommend Barbkat. Ive bought belts from her for many years
and turned on many customers to her and all have been tickled shitless
with the quality and pricing

in contrast to the popular conception supported by newspapers

not only narrow-minded and dull, but also just stupid.

Lacking a local mainstream store that handles them I would check
Yellow Pages or Google for an area industrial supply store. We live
in a rural town but we have several shops within 20-30 miles that can
get pretty much anything - often at a a lower price than the usual
retail outlets. One store that comes to mind is Fastenal but there
are others - many privately operated.

Klingspor will make any size you want, though 3x18 looks to be a
standard size:

I've used this company for years - very high quality paper
and cloth.
The prices should be much better.
