Edward H. Best & Company
1076 Washington St., Hanover, MA 02339
781/826-0291, Fax: 781/826-0294
Jeffrey Herman: I discovered a unique resource for seamless felt rolls and belts for use with abrasive compounds: Edward H. Best & Company. I ordered 2" x 32" belts for my belt sander to buff and polish sterling letter openers with 5"-long by 1"- diameter handles. Why didn't I simply use regular muslin buffs? Because the handles had raised parallel ribs going down their entire length. Using a long-fiber, wheel-type buff would have allowed its cotton fibers to drag into the low-lying areas which were less than 1/32" below the surface! The incised lines were sandblasted to contrast with the highly polished ribs.

These felt belts were exactly what I needed for this finishing dilemma. I used one belt for tripoli, one for white diamond, and the other for rouge. The relatively flat and taut surface of the belts allowed me to safely refinish the letter openers without harm to the sandblasted areas. Each belt cost $24.50. They can make the more common 1" x 48" belts for $19.30 each, and can manufacture diameters up to 25", lengths up to 120", and thicknesses from 1/8" to 1/4". Their minimum order is $75, with an approximate delivery of two weeks. All belts are made-to-order. For a brochure, contact Carl S. Johnson, Vice President.

, Web site
NWP sells pitch for chasing and repoussé. We make three grades of pitch: medium, soft, and hard. The medium is the most popular and versatile grade. We are striving to keep a good back stock of all grades but at times we do run out of one or the other. It is best to make all orders as early as possible to insure that you get the pitch you need at the time you need it. We guarantee satisfaction with our pitch. In certain cases we can also make extenders to help customize pitch that may need to be made softer or harder due to some special use. All three grades are compatible if customers wish to mix and match make their own custom grade. Pitch (all grades) costs $8 per pound plus the cost of shipping. We generally ship via the US Postal Service but can send pitch via UPS if so desired. Currently NWP is unable to take credit card orders. All orders must be paid for with checks or money orders. If you let us know how much pitch you would like and what your zip code is we can let you know the shipping cost. Orders can be sent to us at the address shown above. Pitch should usually be delivered within 3 to 4 days of us receiving your order.
