Sandpaper in bulk

Hey guys,
Does anybody know where you can get sheets of sandpaper in large amounts? I'm about to finish a disc grinder that will use regular 9x11 sheets and it would be nice to get all the grits I need in one place. Thanks!

Josh

Send a message via AIM to Don Cowles
You can buy boxes of 50 or 100 sheets from MSC and other industrial supply houses.

Josh,

All these suggestions are good but if you want paper and want it right now, just go to an auto body supply store. The more you buy the cheaper it is.
Every 'name' (Norton, 3M, etc) and type (ceramic, Alox), too.

When I order belts from Tru-Grit in Cal,I also order the sandpaper in boxes.This silicone carbide paper is not cheap, but is not as bad in bulk.By the box is cheaper, and you will always have some handy.

Pop's Knives and Supplies is where I buy mine. Quality is best Klingspor. Runs about 50 cents a sheet in boxes of 50 sheets. His contact info is in the supply forum.

Auto parts dealers have the wet/dry sand paper up to around 600 grit.
Home Depot or any other surplus store will have it.
Stay away from the aluminum oxide paper used for wood working, it won't touch a hard blade.

Like Gene I've bought mine 50 sheets at a time from TruGrit. They have a couple of price points and a large selection. I've always heard good stuff about Pop's too, and the above bears it out.
