I will take the advice here and get the better machetes. Thanks guys.
Tyger- I also get the Blue Zirconia belts from Lee Valley but I have also found different grits for them elsewhere. I think I now have 40, 60, 80 and 120 grit in BZ belts.
You wouldn't mind PMing where you get the other grits from, would you? I'd appreciate being able to get a more variegated array of grits than what Lee Valley offers in the BZ.
I get mine from McMaster.com and MSCdirect.com. Both have wide variety of grit types and sizes. Shipping is super fast too.
