Performax 22-44 drum sander -- What sandpaper are y'all using?

[Chirogyro]

I was lucky to pick up a Performax 22-44 for $400 -- it needed a bit of a cleanup and a new conveyor belt, but otherwise is in great shape. I'm curious as to what brand/type of sandpaper rolls y'all are using? When I last had one of these (a LONG time ago!) I was using Klingspor rolls as they were one of the few reasonably priced options out there...

Klingspor is still my mainstay.

Used to use Klingspor but discovered rolls to cut on Amazon. It is much much cheaper.

Fixed but links are not working now on the forum. HAve to copy and paste.

 

Hey @John Morris do we have a problem?

[Fred W. Hargis Jr]

I seem to remember something about links to Amazon stuff being funky (technical term i don't understand) which makes them not work consistently, but John  will be along to straighten things out.

[John Morris]

Hey guys, links from Amazon are disallowed here. You can copy paste them but they won't be auto linked. Sorry for the inconvenience. 

Please remember, if you do want to post links to Amazon, you can really shorten that url, you only need up to the slash before "ref".

 

Like this: https://www.amazon.com/Performax-Ready-Abrasive-Sandpaper-Sanders/dp/B000H5NGF4

 

The rest is tracking gobbly gook and possible paid commission tracking codes that we don't allow in our forums. Thanks guys!
