I am now running a Lortone 33B and keeping it going most of the time. What quantities of grit should I be purchasing to get it at a reasonable cost? Where are the best sources of grit at reasonable prices? Shipping costs seem to really run th grit costs up.

I think the prices at The Rock Shed are pretty good. That's where I get my grit from. Cher

I bought mine at Jesco Lapidary Products and had a very good experience. I would compare them and see how their prices match up. Their site is at: jescoproducts.com/cart/index.php?Steve -

I have purchased from Arrowhead as well and have been very pleased. In fact, I will be ordering 50 pounds of rough grit again soon. They ship in a sealed 5 gallon bucket so you don't have to worry about it spilling. But they are also quite close to me which really helps out on the shipping.

rfuller, depends on how big your barrels are. If you've got 3 pound barrels, 5 or ten pounds at a time will usually be enough. Check out local rock shops or local rock hounds or local rock clubs to see if there are local inexpensive sources. Shipping is a killer, be especially cautious on Ebay; always inqure about the shipping and handling. Places like the Rockshed and Kingsley North are fair, but lots of people make their living on Ebay shipping and handling fees...
