Drum Sander Paper
« on: July 15, 2020, 11:25:16 AM »
I just ordered a new drum sander and it will be here tomorrow. I was wondering what grit paper you guys are using to make your tapers? I’m not sure what grit comes with it but I’m guessing it’s finer than what I should be using.

I like 60 too, some people go to as fine as 120 ;)
I would rather fail at something above my means, than to succeed at something  beneath my means

In my experience 120 clogs morning much faster. I like 60 or 80 grit much better

Been using 80 but when I run out will likely drop to 60.

I've used 36 grit on backed bows, trilams and such, but use 50 or 60 on glass bow lams.
