I am looking for some help finding some 3" disc holders. I bought this setup from WoodturnersCatalog several years ago and finally need some more disc holders. I would like some discs also. These used to be described as the "Cadillac" of sanding discs. I do know they last a long time and really help with initial bowl sanding grits.

Example disc holder:

Example sanding discs:
https://www.woodturnerscatalog.com/p/31/5390/3m-3-Inch-Cubitron-Sanding-Discs-5-Pack?s=8249

I did email WoodturnersCatalog, but thought the wealth of knowledge here may know where to a find similar type of holder and discs.

Does anyone know of a supplier for similar quality?

Thanks,
Steve

WoodturnersWonders has disc and holder/mandrels. Check Klingspor also.

I get my abrasives through VinceswoodNwonders. I believe his are over sized, but he may have 3 and 2 inch sizes as well. His pads and mandrills had 'micro' hooks, not sure about Woodturnerswonders.

The Sanding Glove sells 3M Cubitron Ceramic discs and Norton Dry Ice.

It's hard to beat the FilmTek discs at Vinces. I think they are the best value for the price. I bought some in 1", 2", 3", and 5". They are film backed so very flexible, the velcro is super strong, consistent grit size and scratch pattern thru all grit sizes, and long lasting. For comparison you can buy 50 FilmTek for $9 whereas 50 3M Cubitron are $52!
