Any interest in Sorby Pro Edge group buy on belts from BND??

inkyblue · 9 Oct 2016

Just gauging interest if anyone is interested in a group buy on some Trizact belts from BND? Am looking for some higher grit polishing belts, but they only sell them in packs of 6. I'm interested in 600, 1000 and 2000 grit. They work out just over £5 a belt, which is a significant saving over the Sorby ones. OK, let me know if anyone is interested. Thanks, Terry.

Hi Inky

There was a group of about four of us that placed an order earlier in the summer so you may have timed this badly unfortunately ie the folks here are freshly up to date.

Sounds like bad timing. Oh well thanks for letting me know Bob

Once I have a Pro Edge I will be very interested! Hopefully another month or two.

I would be interested but I do not know how we would get together to collect the belts as its a long trip from Inverness if we can figure something out with postage I am in.

Hi Bigbob. That's the general idea. Members forward their order needs to one coordinator who places the combined order and also receives the goods and funds from everyone. Said coordinator then sends each persons belts to them. In other words one person acts as hub for funds and distribution which is by post. Last time we paid by PayPal gift so it's cost neutral for everyone beyond the actual cost of belts and postage

Yes Bigbob, I'm happy to do the co-ordination. Let me know what belts you are after, as I said I'm looking at 600, 1000 and 2000 grits

Hi Inkyblue would be interested in 600 I use these belts for sharpening roughing gouges and skews I still use the Paul Sellers method for planes and chisels are you are using the proedge for these?
