The list of abrasives and their respective uses in the festool catalog is daunting.

After reading the new abrasive catalogs i'm slowwwwly realizing I'm going to need hundreds of dollars worth of sandpapers for all my various surfacing needs (wood, metal, paints, etc.)

Is there a way to get an assortment of papers from someplace?

I'm in particular looking for...
Rubin
80-180

Brilliant
150-400

Platin
400-2000

I hardly need the quantities offered by festool. Packs of 5 or 100. :\
Can't I just get 10 or 20? (the platin I think I only need maybe 1 or 2 of each)

Many of the Festool dealers, including Bob Marino, will sometimes accommodate customers with an assortment at less than full package size for each grit. That's an individual business decision they can make. Talk to your Festool dealer to see what they will do for you.

I only use the Rubin product, for the most part, so the larger packs made sense for me in the long run...I absolutely hate running out of anything like that at just the wrong time... ;)
