Has anyone used Deerfos sanding pads?

Not having much success with them on my RO125, wondered if it is just me or if I should try a different brand.

Thanks

What pads are you using vs what material?

 

[samsmith93]

These are the pads, I have them from 60-3000 grit

Material is oak and epoxy resin (GlassCast 50)

Interesting...this has a polyester backing so it can be used wet or dry.

"Not much success" is not much of a description. What kind of problems are you having?

You should try other brands.

I have tried every type and brand of abrasive I could get my hands on in the last 13 years I owned Festool sanders. There are definitely huge differences between brands.

Best ones I can think off are Festool, SIA and Indasa.

I have had good success with Mirka Abranet, especially in the higher grits. Generally that is only with harder plastics though, Solid Surface acrylic/polyester and blends.
The softer materials, like 3Form, take a bit more polishing rather than actual sanding.
For simple wood sanding, I'm still in favor of Festool abrasives.
