   PSA or velcro?

   They make them to at least 320, not sure why Home Depot only carries the coarse ones.

   Klingspor has better quality and better pricing than most from my experience.

   BT,

   My favorite is Indasa (www.indasausa.com/). I switched to them from Klingspor (www.klingspor.com) because the quality is as good but the prices are lower.

   I get my abrasives from http://www.industrialabrasives.com

   They have the 5 hole discs in many grits. They will sell to the individual as well.

   I've found finer grits at Lowe's, I'm sure, and seems like at HD too.  Did you ask anyone?  However, I buy 80% of my sandpaper from Klingspor, as mentioned above.  They have excellent paper, very good prices, and occasional specials that are fantastic.  Here's the link:  http://www.woodworkingshop.com/ 

   I find the paper catalog much more user-friendly.

   I have the PC hook and loop type. When I was at HD I found  the 100 and assumed if they carried other size grits they would be nearby. I have a Woodcraft and Rockler in the area and I'll see what they carry before trying mail order. I don't use grits this fine very often but I am finding I need them more and more.Thanks to all for the quick responces.BT

   If you don't use much of it, they do make a combination pack with a mixture of grits.

   Another plug for Klingspor for the same reasons as fg. Locally any lumberyard/tool supplier that sells PC should most likely have a variety of grits including the one you're looking for.

   Thanks to all for your help. I picked up a pack of 320 at Rockler today so I can finish the project I'm working on but I am going to bookmark this page to save the names of the places you've given me.

   Thanks

   Klingspor, the answer for sizes and types; sterated, garnet etc.  They do

   fast mailorder and the volume discounts are great.  You'll also find other box deals on sanding products for your shop.

   WOW!!!       Sanding a red oak board down  to 320 grit sure is great!! It feels like it already has a finish on it!!

   Thanks for your help.
