What sandpaper do you use for turning ?
I know any old sandpaper works. But I intend on doing a lot and I want to buy a big roll to save money. Maybe 3 types of grits.
I tried a bit of cloth backed the other day and liked the strength of it, but then it be more expensive.
Where would you buy it ?
Thanks.

Indasa Red-Line Rhynodry and Rhynowet - 180grit in the dry to 1200 in the wet. Might be made for panel-beaters but it outlasts cloth backed by a long shot because it doesn't clog as easy and takes wood off quicker, easier and cleaner which is more important to me than cost.

I find the foam backed by far the best for not filling, very flexible, long lasting , less heat buildup. I get it in rolls 150mm wide X 25M. It is made specifically for use in the auto body industry. I use 80, 100, 320 grit mostly.

Just as a matter of interest, I recently had a batch of 100mm sander belts which must have got a little damp at some stage, and every one of them pulled apart at the joint after just a few minutes work. I managed to rip up about 6 of them in various grits in 10 minutes.
Anyway, I ended up using them (still) for some lathe work and found them fantastic. No real revelation here I guess. The sanding belt material is much stiffer and the grit much deeper and better bonded by necessity - the stuff lasts & lasts.
A bit expensive to start ripping up good belts, but any that break prematurely are definite lathe fodder.

It might be a question of language but I never use sandpaper but a sanding clothe. The advantage is when you fold it it does not break leaving a bad edge which tends to leave bad signs on the wood.

Trash and treasure markets. there is always someone there selling ends of rolls super cheap. I got about 5 years supply of 80, 120, 150, 180, 240 grit cloth back paper for $50 from Dandenong market.
