Recommended Brands of Emery Strip

[Turbo]

I'm getting to the end of my stock of 50mm emery strip. The stuff I'm using is norton brand and I got a shock when I priced up a new box of it. I know norton is good quality stuff but can anyone recommend a brand that is cheaper but just as good.

I use sait and quality's good. About a tenner a box last time.

What grade grit (?) do you guys buy for general use ?

S'pose it differs for everyone but 120 is the one I use the most.

Sait has a good rep & that's a good price. The norton stuff is over £16! Where do you buy it?

120 for general use & 240 for a finer finish. I also have some 60 grit but you may as well use a file as use that! I also keep any broken powerfile belts and use them.

Local engineering supply company mate. I'll check my roll when I get home tonight for you to be sure on price and length.
