Thread: Mastercraft 4" belt sander

The 50% off on items at Canadian Tire is a regular thing. I've seen no reason for the sales, for a few days something is half price then goes back to being full price. If there is something you want and don't need you can wait, sometimes a couple of months, and you might get lucky. I've saved a few hundred with this strategy. I always browse the store to see what's offered half off and if I can use it.

I do the same thing heart I think it cycles of what goes on sale.

Maybe Mcmaster Carr has em.
I would imagine their 220 grit 4" would be a good metal remover if you kept the pressure off.

Not really. 220 is pretty fine.
36 or 40 are the typical metal removers.

Egads! I don't think I've ever tried grits that low sir..
I defer to your experience and may need to open my grit range.
Grits that low, that's for initial work only I presume. Like new razor builds and first grinds/
To my woodworking-ish background I rarely, if ever went below 120, so I still haven't with my new interest in razors.
Thanks and cheers.
