And how much are you paying?

Right now I'm using paper from a company called Fintech, where a 100grit 2"x50 yard roll is about 20$USD.

Wondering how Klingspor compares pricewise and if it's worth the uptick...

Their prices are good. I LOVE their zirconia. They are not the lowest price, but their product is awesome.

What about this crowd, in your neck of the woods. I don't know how the prices
stack up but it's local, so no exchange. I'm on their email list and they frequently
have specials.

Klingspor sure is good stuff but with the cost of shipping and exchange I now try to source
as close to home as possible. I found Supergrit in PA. to have very good abrasives and price.
The last time I ordered from them our dollar was in better shape. Luckily I stocked up then.

Sorry, I did not notice you all were from the Great North. Maybe Trump will make exchange rates great again? (please, I'm just yanking chains for fun, no need to get roused by that... :))
