Sorby proedge cheaper belts?

[Chris152]

I've searched the site but can't find any up-to-date info. Is anyone supplying decent belts significantly cheaper than the Sorby replacements? Mainly looking for 60 grit.

Thanks, C

The woodturning store near Oxford-Didcot used to sell belts made with Sia abrasives that fit the proedge. They were much cheaper than the factory issue and every bit as good.
What I don't know is if those are a standard product or if that store which sadly closed a few years ago, had them made up specially.

There are companies who will make belts.
