I've been hunting for a decent abrasives supplier, particularly 5" zirconium fibre sanding discs. Most of the ones I looked at are expensive or are charging silly carriage prices just because I live in Northern Ireland!

This company have decent prices & sensible carriage costs, I'm just concerned about the quality of their products. The cutting & grinding discs come from their sister company, Right Lines.

Anyone used their products?

I've ordered a couple of times from rightlines, and have been happy with the quality.

give them a ring and ask for a sample?

I've done that on a few occasions[1] for various things - they can only say "no", but most places will have a marketing budget for stuff like this. the trick is not to be greedy.


[1]"hello, my name's "bigegg", I work in the buying department of hardboiled fabrications, I'm looking to purchase a quantity of your "xyz" product, but my boss wants to see a sample first.
Is there any chance you could post me a couple of them out in a couple of different grits just so we can test them for our application?"

I bought some of their heavy duty Zirconium belts for my linisher. They came in packs of 10, so worked out dearer than I had hoped They seem to work well, and I'm still on the first belt, so maybe not SO dear in the long run.

They were not willing to do a smaller pack or a mixed pack, so as helpful as I would have liked.

I've used Abrasives for metal, I had no issues but my last lot of finger 10mm and 20mm belt sander belts came from https://bndabrasives.co.uk/
