I've got a Sealy Angle Sander which came with a 120 grit sanding disc. I bought a spare disc (here) with the sander for a rip off price of £4.18! I was expecting more than one for my money, but that didn't happen!

Anway, I've now got myself a box of 50 36grit and a box of 50 80grit discs from a local paint supplier. He told me to go straight to 3M for some 120grit discs. I've searched all over the internet but can't seem to find anywhere that sells them.

Can anyone help me out?

If anyone can get you some, it should be your paint supplier. Just tell him you want some, and he can order you some. What do you need 120's for? those things are great with coarse grit discs for rust removal etc but a DA is better with the finer grades.

I'm after some 120's for very fine grinding, such as the gutter repairs that I was doing...



Sorry what's a DA?

Thanks for the offer. I'll go back to the paint supplier and see what he can do for me first.

Hi, Try bullet industries in the US

Their ebay store is http://stores.ebay.c...llet-Industries

I'm located in Bahrain in the Arabian Gulf and have ordered quite a few from them.. I dont think you will find them anywhere cheaper.

Not 3M branded but very good quality. And quick service..

Cheers

Oh and in the USA they are know as "button" sanding/polishing discs

[edi57]

That place looks really good.

Can't seem to see 120 on their website, but I'll send them an email.

Thank you.
