I have just talked with the people at this web site http://customsandingbelts.com/ about belts for the compucave and this is what they have told me. They have ordered the material to make the "j" thickness belts in 120 grit for the compucarve and should have it in about 2 weeks. In the mean while, they do have the "j" material in the size needed but in the 100 grit. Now here is the question? Does anybody think that it will make a big difference between 100 grit and the 120 on the standard belt. Personally I don't think that this should make a big difference. So I'll be the test person for this since carvewright can't give me a specific date as to when they will have the belts I ordered almost 2 weeks ago. They are shipping the belts from the above mentioned website TODAY! and should have them by Friday. I will give you an update on how well it worked or how much it will be for replacement parts to repair my compucarve:-( . Prayers Please! Lot of money to experiment!

There are folks who have purchased belts from http://customsandingbelts.com/ and from what they say work very well.
