Coop 7082 Posted September 27 Report Share Posted September 27 When I bought my ETS 150/5, I bought boxes of 150, 180 & 220. The boxes show P150 Rubin 2, P180 Granet and P220 Rubin 2 and each have a hole pattern to match the sander pad. To order more discs, I went to Festool’s site and don’t find these with the hole pattern but do on Amazon. Also on Festool, I see they have a Granat Net. What disc have you guys found favorable and from where did you get them? Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Larry Moore 82 Posted September 27 Report Share Posted September 27 The newer 150 discs have more holes Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Coop 7082 Posted September 27 Author Report Share Posted September 27 And if there are more holes than my pad has, I consider that not so good as it means less paper surface. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

I guess I never thought about that but it makes sense. The Klingspor discs have more holes then I need but work great although I have never done a side by side comparison to discs with the proper number of holes Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Chet 4729 Posted September 27 Report Share Posted September 27 The extra holes are new but shouldn't matter. I have been using the Festool Granet, it is more money but it does seem to hold up better. I have been getting mine at a local Benjamin Moore Paint Store if you have one by you Coop. 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Chestnut 5158 Posted September 28 Report Share Posted September 28 I'm told the more holes don't matter. I believe extracting the dust from under the paper offsets having less material, though I'm not really sure that having more holes will significantly impact lifespan. It should in theory increase performance so sanding goes quicker as dust is removed faster and more efficiently. If your pad doesn't have the extra holes don't worry about it. I'm using the new hole pattern on an old pad and it doesn't make a difference. 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

BillyJack 303 Posted October 9 Report Share Posted October 9 Are Kingspor, VSM, 3M , etc not making sandpaper that adapts to the Klingspor? Quote Link to post Share on other sites
legenddc 344 Posted October 9 Report Share Posted October 9 FYI Klingspor seems to have a sale going on in a couple of weeks for their now virtual event. No clue what it will be but I'm going to hold off and hope to save some money. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Jonathan McCully 73 Posted October 12 Report Share Posted October 12 Looks like Klingspoor has like 7 different paper types. Any recommendations on which to use? Quote Link to post Share on other sites
pkinneb 3279 Posted October 12 Report Share Posted October 12 this is what I have been using for a few years and have been happy with it. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
legenddc 344 Posted October 24 Report Share Posted October 24 Klingspor has 15% off from now until 10/30 for their sandpaper. Just placed a big order. 2 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

BillyJack 303 Posted October 24 Report Share Posted October 24 It's usually about $12-$15 a box of 100.... Quote Link to post Share on other sites
BillyJack 303 Posted October 24 Report Share Posted October 24 We were trying Surfprep as well. Not too bad but a few dollars more.. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
