Astra Dot sanding pads

Actually, Ken, one of our Nova Woodturning Guild members handles your products in Nova Scotia and I for one have found them to be good quality and value. I also appreciate your comments to this group and I find that you are politely agreeable in keeping commercial notices to a low frequency. So I would say to keep them coming. I for one appreciate it.

For the curious,

Haven't used them myself but have heard some good reports about them. Billh

Thanks Darrell,

Most of the sour grapes come from competitors who hide behind their anomminity.

A lot of what we make is not available through the agents as they sell competitive products. Ian Fish who makes the sanding kits is a local turner who like most professional turners needs to get some exposure, He also makes a great tool rest which we will stock as well in the near future.

I have had these for a couple of years now in my infinitely delayed abrasive "paper" comparisons. It is excellent sand paper that has good life, good bonding, works well with a wide variety of woods, and appears to have quite uniform particle size.

SO - what it would seem they would do is give much greater self-cleaning in the finest grits, and perhaps a bit more even in the coarser? Might be a real bonus in the finer grits if they kick fine dust rather than try to regrind it. What they lack in grit/sq cm they would easily make up in reduced heat and resanding.

Only problem I think they might have is kicking the dots at the outside edges. Do they degrade faster there, or does the glue seem equal to the task?
