In my recent hand tool class we used rolled adhesive-backed sandpaper to do some of the basic sharpening on the lapping plate. I thought I’d share the resource if anyone should be interested.

We used the 3M 2.75” wide fre-cut open coat 216u

150 grit UPC #02596
180 grit UPC #02595
220 grit UPC #02594
400 grit UPC #02590

This paper worked well and did not load up as fast as some paper I’ve used. If you use a small brush to clean the paper every now and then it stretches the paper’s life.

This is the sandpaper that is used in most drum sanders

Thanks for the info, Betsy. I will look into this. I go through a lot of sandpaper and would like to be able to get it cheaper.

Thanks, Betsy. They carry a wide array of products. I wanted to give you another site, Klingspor woodworking, http://www.klingspor.com/ so that you can compare prices.
