Online Sandpaper Shopping New Website
We have just launched a new website for online shopping of all your sandpaper needs.
This website only went 'live' this week, www.thesandpaperman.com.au so products are limited at present.
Our website contains at present-
125 mm diam velour-backed discs in all grits
Wet and dry sandpaper sheets in 60-2000 grit
Dry Rub sheets in 80-1500 grit
Flexible-backed sandpaper 80-400 grit
Micro-Mesh products
Tack Cloths, Abrasive Restorers, etc.
We are adding more products as time permits.
If you would like us to list something that is not on our website, please let us know and we will give that listing priority if we stock it.
The Sandpaper Man.

Hi SM, good idea.....I hope it goes well, it should do if you carry good quality stock. My biggest bitch these days is the stuff I get from the local H'ware is rubbish.
I have been doing some sanding the last couple of days and a question popped into my head.....
Why don't sandpaper manufacturers print "third sheet " or "half sheet" lines on the back of their paper so you know where to tear it!
Can't be that hard, surely?

According to my imperfect understanding, sandpaper is made, and printed, in sheets about 1200 x 2400, or similar magnitude, then cut into individual sheets or strips. Although the suggested markings would be convenient, it'd require a secondary printing operation on the cut sheets.
However, I'd sure like to see the grit marked more copiously. For woodturning, we sometimes use small pieces of sandpaper, and have to add more grit ID's in pencil or ink to fill the gaps.

Had a quick look, and will keep an eye on the site to see what gets added.
One suggestion though. A visitor goes to the site, because he/she wants to see what you've got, and maybe purchase something. So why are you presenting them with a page, on which they have to push a button to 'Enter Site'.
If they didn't want to get there, then they will leave. The existing first page is not only superfluous, it's aggravating. Just link directly to the menu area. If someone gets there accidentally, you may just get their interest.

Thanks guys for the feedback about what you like and don't like about our website. We will be looking at these issues and seeing what can be done about them.
With regard to sticky backed roll, sticky-backed material is getting fairly rare these days, but one option we can offer is velcro hook with an adhesive backing which would apply to the base of your sander, and then we keep velour-backed abrasive on a roll at 115 mm wide, which we sell by the metre, and it is quite reasonable in price.
This product is not on our website yet, but we will prioritise this product and make sure it is on our website in the next day or so.

Site looks good, easy to navigate round. Soon as i get my rand orb sander i'll be ordering a range of the 150mm velcro disks. I could only see the 120 grade but i'm guessing that u also got the other grades?

With regard to large discs, the largest disc would be 920 mm in diameter, although material could be sourced up to around 1400 mm wide, enabling approximately 1400 mm diam disc if you purchased 1.4 metres of this material. If you require minimum order quantities or further information, please contact us, as we would need to know the grit you require, paper or cloth, etc. before we could advise minimum order quantities.
