Where to purchase: 6" ROS sandpaper

[David LaRue]

OK, I finally decided to replace my tied old ROS and replace it with a Ridgid 6" ROS. It appears really to be the Metabo 6" ROS SX E 450 Duo in the Ridgid color.

Now that I have gotten it home, I need to order some sandpaper for it. I checked the Klingspor's retail site and find no mention of Metabo (or Ridgid) so, does anyone know other 6" 6 hole hook & look sandpaper will work, or a place to purchase some specifically for the Metabo / Ridgid?

Dave --
I'll bet the 6" 6-hole discs that Klingspor sells will fit your sander. If you're worried, call them. They pride themselves on being able to cover anything. They probably don't the Metabo on their lists because there are very few Metabos in the country, and they don't have Rigid on because it is so new. But with The Borg selling these sanders, you can be sure Klingspor is not going to miss this market.

David,

Home Depot is now stocking the 6" discs (Norton.) They carry both the hook-and-loop and adhesive (The Ridgid will acceot either)
