I ordered a 50 lb tub of 60 grit from Industrial Supply. The straight 60 grit ($0.86/lb) was cheaper than the 60/90 grit ($0.92/lb). They charged a $15.00 handling plus UPS charges. All told price was $86. Or about $1.72 a pound.
Service wasn't bad, considering that I ordered in the middle of the holiday rush. Bet the UPS person would have preferred to deliver presents instead of the grit!
I know 50 pounds sounds like a lot, but two of the big Thumlers tumblers go through a lot of grit.
There website is aaa-industialsupply.com

Is it really less expensive than ordering in the US? I'm about to go from vibe to rotary tumbling and I need 60/90 grit again. Thanks!
