Anybody heard of them before? The prices are hard to believe. Wondering what the quality of the paper is like?

Never heard of them but they are only about 1/2 an hour from my house...

Now that I know about them I plan on giving them a call and seeing if they have a storefront. I am getting low on sandpaper so I have been thinking of buying some more.

I will let you know what I think when I get some.

Cheers,
Bob

Thanks. I'll going to order up a few drum sander rolls just to see. Figure it can't be any worse than what came stock on the delta, so nothing to lose at that price really...

FWIW...

Got my order in and it seems like decent paper. Maybe not quite as nice as klingspor, but definitely a step up from the stock stuff that came with the delta sander. At between 18-24$ Per 60' x 2" roll, that brings the price to about 3-4$ a wrap, which is pretty cheap IMO...
