Sanding belts?

[mailee]

Does anyone have a cheaper supplier of sanding belts? I am after a roll for my 'new' Axminster junior drum sander but have just looked at the price of the cloth backed stuff at Axminster £78! :shock:

Just an idea, do you need to use cloth backed? or can you use paper its a lot cheaper....

Hi mailee Axminster do 25m Paper Backed Abrasive Roll for Jet 10-20, 16-32 & 22-44 Sanders which works on your unit for £35-20 if thats any help.

Apparently the paper backed ones don't last long from what I have read about them. I have found a supplier of cloth backed ones thanks to Mattty on the other forum. Much cheaper at about £5 for 5m. Will give them a try. Thanks guys.
