Need to order some sanding disk for my new 5" 8 hole Random orbit sander. Will use it to sand hardwoods.
What paper do you find works best in a ROS?

Any other place I should look at for sandpaper other than Klingspor's?

Industrial Abrasives Rhyno grip pads. I use 100 and 220 to go from rough to finish. Sometimes I use the 320 if no stain is involved.

They don't leave swirl marks like the stuff from HD.

Thanks for the info.

The price look right if they are good paper.

Mirka is another great option.

Ditto. I have also bought from Klingspor's - they are my favorite source for sandpaper sheets, because I can get A-weight paper all the way down to 60g.
