Cheapest price on grit? Where?
There are millions of places on the web to buy grit. Being new to tumbling I have found the cheapest place to buy grit. I have started keeping track of the cost and weight and size on excel.
But I need some grit, all 4stages and don't have much data for comparison.

No other sizes available! |

It's really hard to find grit in bulk, meaning more than a pound here where I am. It's heavy material so shipping from the US is not an option in larger amounts. Anyone in Canada find a CDN supplier let me know.

Anyone in Canada find a CDN supplier let me know. I order from the US. I try to fill a 20 lb mfrb to ease the pain. If you need tumblers or parts this place has free shipping. Their grit price is something else though. www.canadiantreasureseekers.com/index.php?l=product_list&c=220 |

No other sizes available! I've never used 36, but have been wanting to try it out. Is it faster than 36/70? Should it only be used on certain types (hardness) of rocks? Either way, I'd like to buy a pound or two. Please send me your info, thanks. |

WE get ours from Kleen-Blast in Portland, OR for +/- $1.65/ lb. [price varies a little depending on grit size] in 50 lb. bags. They have several locations in western U.S. Industrial supply places have the best prices we have found, but typically sell only in big lots.
