Sorby Belt group buy

[Bigbud78]

Anyone interested in going half's or thirds on a order from BND ?

 

[Random Orbital Bob]

yup.....I am. I need 120g and will happily take 6 (or more if it works for others).

 

[Grahamshed]

I'm interested in hearing the price differences.

 

[CHJ]

Having had a couple of batches from BND myself recently I suspect that the price savings may well be mitigated by the additional postage costs if they are outside personal pickup range.
Some of which like the 60 grit for instance of the grade I ordered would need boxing not postal envelope due to stiffness.

Obviously prices are subject to change but these are what I experienced within the last couple of months.

* SIA 2515 siabite y HD Ceramic 60 grit. ** min 12 £53.56 (£4.47ea)

* SIA 2511 siabite y Ceramic 120 grit min 12 £31.38 (£2.62ea)

# SIA 2546 siabite JJ Ceramic 220 grit min 12 £28.86 (£2.40ea)

# SIA 2820 Zirc 320 grit min 12 £24.22 (£2.02ea)

# Trizact A45 (P400 grit) min 6 £31.97 (£5.33ea)

* Trizact A30 (P800 grit). min 6 £31.97 (£5.33ea)



All above prices incl. VAT.
All above 3 day delivery.

Postage £4. 95 net. over £65 FOC

** 3M 984 Cubitron 60 grit would be a premium grade alternate for this.
£9.84 x 1, £8.05 x 6 = £48.3 & £7.15 x 15 = £107.25 1 day delivery held in stock.
I personally see no need for this, the SIA 2515 is a real animal for stock removal.

* original order # second order

The SIA 2546 siabite JJ Ceramic 220 grit is a very lightweight fabric, works fine but some may find the join interrupt disconcerting at first.

have you used the Norton R976 ?



Group buy wise were looking at

Norton R976
3x60
7x120
Which is £28.95 + postage from me to you

From Yandles same would cost £37.26 + 6.49 postage

 

[CHJ]

have you used the Norton R976 ?

No, only had access to a worn Norton belts, don't know grade as the details were worn off backs.

I have not done the rounds of price comparisons or in use effectiveness, just bought based on personal assessment of belts that I thought would meet my needs. That I should live long enough to use them all I can only hope, assuming there are no visitors in need of replacement stock that is.

 

[Random Orbital Bob]

Bigbud.....you realise you need to buy a minimum of 12 in any one grit from B&D....that's why we started doing group buys in the first place? It's not clear from your example order with the Yandles price comparison that that is understood?

[Bigbud78]

We have 3 x 120 grit & 3 x 60 grit floating if anyone else wants in, if not I'll have the 60's and one of the other guys will have the 120's.

 

[Random Orbital Bob]

If no takers I'll soak up the spare 120's

 

[Bigbud78]

Cool, see if there's any takers if not I'll send out final calcs for you guys with payment details if all three of you are happy then bob me the cash over and I'll order them

Probably too late, but I'll take all six if still floating

[Random Orbital Bob]

Given Phil wants them I'll relinquish my soak up for the floating 120's and he can have them

 

[Bigbud78]

there are 3x60's left then, any takers ?

 

[Random Orbital Bob]

The way I read Phil's comment is he wants both the 3 x 120's AND the 3 x 60's but he ought to confirm that of course.
