Beall Tool Company makes superior sandpaper available to customers at a better price
Cutting up to three times faster, lasting nearly three times longer than garden variety sandpaper as well as waterproof, Beall again provides the best of the best to professional woodworkers at reasonable cost.
(PRWEB) March 31, 2005 -- Not long ago founder, production manager and
resident inventor of Beall Tool Company, J.R.
Beall, ran out of the 220 garnet sandpaper he generally uses in the shop and
decided to try, in its place, some sample paper that he had picked up at a
recent trade show. He was amazed: never had he used sandpaper which cut so fast
or lasted so long. It made sanding, never one of his favorite tasks, a positive
joy: and he set out for his local "big box" store in search of more. Its price-
at $4.00 for three sheets- was more than he had ever paid for sandpaper, but he
was so impressed with the quality that he bought it anyhow, resolving at the
same time to add it to the Beall Tool Company
Catalog and make it available to customers at a better price.
"The
manufacturer, we discovered, was Norton, one of two sandpaper makers left in
North America. When we contacted them, we were told that the sandpaper we were
seeking was a new, patented product but that a differently colored industrial
version was available that we could carry. The Norton people were helpful and
easy to work with and we are now a distributor of their coated abrasives. The
paper we are offering here is No-Fil Magnum
A275™. Its heat-treated aluminum oxide grains are bonded to a strong, but
flexible paper backing, then coated to prevent loading. The paper is un-dyed
which allows the abrasive grains to better adhere to it and also eliminates the
possibility that any color will be transferred to the work. In addition to
cutting up to three times faster and lasting nearly three times longer than
garden variety paper, it is also waterproof. Even though you may not do much wet
sanding with 80 grit, you can be assured that your paper will not curl up in the
humid days of summer."
Initially Beall will be offering only
9" x 11" cut sheets, but if there is a demand, they will stock disks as well.
Best of all, you can purchase the sandpaper from
Beall for much less than you would pay for it at the "big box."
About Beall
Tool Company :
The Beall Tool Company was founded in 1982 to market
the Beall Wood Threader, a router fixture for making threads on
wooden dowels. The Threader had
worked well for them, they reasoned – perhaps it would be useful to other wood
workers, as well, allowing them in the bargain to supplement the income from
their wood working business.
"We couldn’t imagine then, that many people
would be interested in such an arcane process as wood threading, and expected
the market to be saturated within a couple of years. Now, twenty years, one
book and thousands of threaders later, the Beall Wood
Threader is still going strong, joined in our catalog by such
project-inspired products as the Beall Wood Buff,
the Hinge and Lock Wizards and
the Inclinometer." - J.R Beall
