Hey Williamc, have you compared prices with Miles Supply? They had the best prices around that I know of.

Hey William... Miles Supply is the best place to get your grit. Last time I bought it was $.59.5 per pound... 50# = $29.75 plus shipping. Here is the number to call: 1-800-396-8049 Ask them about thier tumbling mix. 120/220 was $.66 per pound. It may have raised just a bit, but very good prices!

Greetings All,
Thanks for the tip, last time I checked Miles they didn't have the 50 lb packaging. Glad I've been holding off on that order...

YEA I got the Miles SUpply 60/90- And I'm very thrilled with it- A very nice clean grit- it shipped fast and I even weighed it out (I ordered mine before they were doing the buckets- and I had a small leak in my box) I came up with a weight of 51 Lbs on the bathroom scale-

Greetings All,
Finally ordered 50 lbs of 60/90 from Miles Supply and 25 lbs walnut shell from Kingsley North. That'll keep me going for a couple-three months or so. One of these days I'm going to have to drive to Elberton Georgia to load up on some grit, shipping is a Beech!

Greetings All, Just got the walnut shell from Kingsley North, in only 4 days too. They are on top of things. Now I get to go start a couple more barrrels, one for Aluminum oxide one for 600 grit. It's been months William C

I can't get Kingsley North's website to come up. Anyone else have that problem?
