I've found that gathering up the glass and grit from the workspace and
cleaning out the fine stuff (the glass floats very well and the fine broken
down grit also tends to float for a while) by washing and pouring off the
water will recover the 80 grit very nicely.  I've also picked up used grit
from others, nicely cleaning up their workspace and recovering grit from
them.  I got about six pounds of grit from one guy at RTMC one year who had
been grinding there as an exibition as he was just preparing to throw
everything away.
Remember that 80 grit is just used for hogging and it is very difficult to
get scratches or such from other stuff as the grit is so coarse.  Besides,
even if you did get a scratch from some rock that got into your grit, it
will be gone before you get to the 120 grit or whatever you use next. Bob
