Does anyone have a source for replacement sandpaper for the radius dishes?

Robbie, John Hall gave me a source a few years back. These folks will put together whatever you need. I purchased 24" round with adhesive backs. I do believe they have a minimum order of 5 or 6. The supplier is Industrial Abrasives

Robbie,
I have bought wide sanding belts. I bought them through woodworkingshop.com.
A 25 X 60 belt gives you 2 radius dishes worth.

Mark Kett at guitar jigs. He has 50 grit paper that is
one piece which is a plus. The 50 grit lasts a very long time.

Harbor Freight sells a 5-pack of 6"x48" sanding belts for $12. I cut two of those into 4 pieces big enough to cover the dish (when I lay all four of them out), and I glue them on with 3M spray adhesive. Cheap and effective.Kelby38666.8448263889

I use a 24" flat disc for trueing the archtop ribs and had always used pie shaped segments in the past to make up the 24" dia. It was quite a process to cut and glue the pieces in place & removal was no fun either.
Bought a couple 24" discs from John a while back with self-adhesive.   Oh so nice!
