Recently acquired a used 6x48 belt/disc sander. Belt needed replacement so I checked Klingspor, average price $11.00-15.00 per belt. Hmmm I thought that seems a bit high for a single belt.
Had some time to kill so found myself in a Harbor Freight store, well lookie here, a package of 5 belts for $15.00! I figured what the heck, I have wasted $15.00 at a movie concession stand for stale popcorn and a flat soda.
Brought them home, slapped one on, well well well, this thing works okay. Laid a scrap piece of walnut on it, not to shabby.
How will they last in the long run? Time will tell. I will more than likely end up at Klingspor, buying some more.
Point of this story? Not one really.
