ETS 150/3 pads

[Trans former]

Just got a ETS 150/3,  lovely light machine but the pad it comes with is soft, I think I want a firmer pad.

mainly want it for finishing flat new timber, ply and veneer. does anybody know which pad might be best suited for me.

Thanks guys.

No, I'm not affiliated with N&B, just a happy customer

Same here, all my orders for the past year have been with N&B by default.

Picked up an ETS150/3 myself from them last week and I'm building up an abrasives order. Can I ask what abrasives you are going with on yours?

I got a pack of 80,120 and 180, all rubin2-the brown ones. its all I have ever needed for my rts400 so just kept to that same selection.  you could have a courser one in there as well if you ever deal with any rougher timber.
