A couple months ago this group discussed disc sander paper. Shopsmith (800-543-7586) sent a mailing good thru Sept. 22 which lists their 12" Velcro-backed Garnet and Al. Oxide papers and conversion disc on sale. For example, the Al. Oxide 6 pk. is $10. instead of the $13. I have found velcro-backed to last longer (as advertised) but it is pretty useless for small parts where one needs to retain sharp edges or corners. For small parts I still use a standard disk with PSA paper. I don't know if their sale is competitive with other current vendor pricing. Fred Scoles, scoles@oswego.oswego.edu
