Klingspor from www.woodworkingshop.com

If it is abrasive, they've got it!

Mike,

I've always used the 6" Bosch hook loop paper on my 1370 DVS ros. One time at a ww show they had the factory rep from Mirka Abrasives and I visited with him at length. I ended up walking away with several samples in varying grits.
According to the rep, Mirka "sifts?" the abrasive to a higher quality standard and I tend to believe him now that I have run through many cartons of it! Anyway here is a link I googled. The Abralon mesh stuff is also great to use.

Generally I like Mirka brand paper for my sanders, though I use Festool brand for my ROS. I've not tried Klinspor.

Mirka for ROS.
Hermes for edge and belt sanders.

I've used both Klingspor and Mirka on my ROS pretty extensively. Both are very good but I prefer the Klingspor by a whisker.
