This discussion brings up another related issue about belts. I like to order 10 belts at a time, and usually they arrive within two or three days. I started grinding knives on a regular basis in 1970 and have never had a problem getting the belts shipped in a timely manner. "However" I have about 50 or 60 used belts hanging on the shop wall. I don't use them! Harvey Draper had several hundred hanging in the north end of his "chicken coop shop." Maybe they satisfy some primal need to be safe, just in case something would happen to cut off the supply.

I would be interested to know if anyone else "squirls away" belts, "just in case?"
