Does anyone have a whole sale source for Micro-Mesh Or at least some place cheaper than any of the big wood working chain stores.

inches, 9 different grades from 1500 t0 12,000, $13.89/sheet. I purchased 2 1500's, since I thought I would be using a lot of that grade.Mac, $170.00 for one 12x12 sheet????

Even with the exchange rate calculated in, that is mighty expensive.
I got a good deal with my trade. I traded an old, almost antique, roughing gouge I bought for $5.00 at a yard sale for the 12x12 inch set of all nine grades plus a plastic polishing set (the little foam backed squares) and have been using for about five years.
BTW, the guy I traded with is still very happy with the deal, he loves the gouge.
Hi Frank; You made a great deal there! I cut my 12 x 12 sheets into 3 x 4 for pen finishing. They do last a long time.Even with the exchange rate calculated in, that is mighty expensive.

Yup; Nobody's told PayPal that yet!What exchange rate? Right now, the U.S. and Canadian dollars are pretty close to parity. The market closed today at about US$1.00 = CN$1.01. Been that way for a while now.

Are those 12 yards by 12 yards???
My first acquisition of MM was through a trade. I got a full set of 12"x12". Can't remember how many years ago that was, at least four, mebbe five. Still in use. Toss in washer now and then, air dry.
I have a back-up set of 4"x5", never used.
The key to longevity is slow lathe speed and light touch. Heat will kill this stuff very quickly. And, it works best a slow speed and light touch.
I use only for small stuff like pens, calls, etc.
What RPM are you calling slow Frank?
