Hi I have a 36 in woodmaster single drum thickness sander. I still have several of the 80 grit paper rolls that came with the sander. Notice it tears readily . Would like something that lasts much longer . Particularly with ebony, rosewood, coco etc Changing paper is a pita.TNX in advance. Which brand are you using and what are your results.?

I have the best results with the blue Aluminum Zirconia from Klingspors Woodworking shop.
Never had a tear, but the burning can be an issue on the woods you mention.
High feed rate and light passes are your friend.

If it tears easily it's probably not best suited for drum sanding imo. I've gotten good quality, good price, rolls
from Supergrit in Pa. I don't use H&L but they are available here.
