Does the Jet 10-20 (performax) use a standard size conveyor belt that I could buy from, say, supergrit.com? And what paper do you reccomend? Also, what about a paper cleaner?

I bought the 80 and 120 grit paper. They also have a replacement belt listed.

Glenn, what paper (grit) came on the drum?

OK, that looks good. But given the prices at Supergrit, surely someone has tried their 13x32 (and trimmed it down)????
