arglebargle Posted February 11, 2009 Report Share Posted February 11, 2009 Does anyone know where I can find this stuff. I don't think they make it anymore.(something about the environment, whaa whaa whaa ) It's my favorite abrasive, and my stash is running low/wearing out. Anyone have some to sell? Any hints? Anyone? I've got cash. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
MANFIO Posted February 11, 2009 Report Share Posted February 11, 2009 Dick, in Germany had it a decade ago. Yes, it's nice stuff, it works like excellent files. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Bingen Posted February 11, 2009 Report Share Posted February 11, 2009 I have heard that product called "sand-plate", and the rumor while I was in making school was that it worked too well - so Sandvik discontinuedf its production. Rumor, mind you. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Rumor, mind you. Yes it was called sandplate,i think Bahco took over production then swiftly dropped it.I havent seen it for sale for years. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
arglebargle Posted February 12, 2009 Author Report Share Posted February 12, 2009 So sad. So silly. Fair thee well, my beautiful abrasive. You were to beautiful for a world such as this. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

arglebargle Posted September 30, 2010 Author Report Share Posted September 30, 2010 SO! I thinks I've found some. It was hiding in the Dick catalogue, under precision hand grinder or some such thing. Observe: http://www.mehr-als-werkzeug.de/product/70...nted/detail.jsf I've ordered some large rectangular replacement plates, so we will see if these work as well. (In fact, I've ordered ALL the replacement plates, so you all are out of luck ) Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Janito Posted September 30, 2010 Report Share Posted September 30, 2010 The Sandvik plates were great - I bought 2 lozenge-shaped ones several years ago. One I installed on a bent rosewood handle - super. A couple of months aho, I was very pleased to find the other one, and a bonus large orbital sander plate, to boot. All others are a compromise.

Bill Yacey Posted September 30, 2010 Report Share Posted September 30, 2010 I guess in using such a product you can all flatly deny using sandpaper. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Janito Posted September 30, 2010 Report Share Posted September 30, 2010 I guess in using such a product you can all flatly deny using sandpaper. They have the great property of being something between a file and a coarse riffler - fast wood removal without deep scratches. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
arglebargle Posted February 24, 2016 Author Report Share Posted February 24, 2016 Just bumping this in case anyone found some, or has some, and is desperate to sell it to me. The stuff from Dick I mentioned was not the same. Still looking. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
duane88 Posted February 24, 2016 Report Share Posted February 24, 2016 I found some in Japan. Same stuff as the Sandvik. www.tajimatool.co.jp Quote Link to post Share on other sites
JacksonMaberry Posted February 24, 2016 Report Share Posted February 24, 2016 My favorite Sandvik product. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
~ Ben Conover Posted February 24, 2016 Report Share Posted February 24, 2016 Is it like a metal plate ? I have a double sided abrasive file with a yellow handle, got it 15 years ago and it's still good.Hope I can find another. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
catnip Posted February 24, 2016 Report Share Posted February 24, 2016 There is a product "metal sandpaper" called Duragrit. I think it comes in two grits: 80 grit and 150 grit and is quite flexible. You can check it out here:http://www.duragrit.com Quote Link to post Share on other sites
arglebargle Posted February 24, 2016 Author Report Share Posted February 24, 2016 Is it like a metal plate ? I have a double sided abrasive file with a yellow handle, got it 15 years ago and it's still good. Hope I can find another. Yeah. It was a flexible metal plate with adhesive on the back. I've used the same piece for nearly 15 years, and it's just now starting to go dull. The little one I used for ebony didn't last as long, but it's still useable. As Janito said, All others are a compromise. Duane, have you used the Japanese stuff? Does it come in sheets? Quote Link to post Share on other sites
