Help, about to purchase ETS ec 150/3

[jmac80]

Hi everyone.
Just about to purchase a ETS EC 150/3 as my first sander.
I shall be needing accessories to go with it but i can't seem to find any on the usual sites?!?
Anyone know where i can get the hard pad (as many say it's worth getting) and some packs of sanding discs, grant or?
Nuts N Bolts is the best price i've found for the sander with sys2 at £341.
Thanks

I bought my hard pad from eBay. I have been using these discs http://www.southernfilters.com/ and they're brilliant. Multi holed, much cheaper, no clogging up, fantastic dust pick up and they will mix bundles as well. Sold in a hundred quantity for about £20 but they will mix grits etc. They did a demo at my workshop and left a load to try, I placed an order later that day.
Great sander.

Which discs? You've posted a link to the home page of a place that sells quite a few.

  When you get your hard pad, which I defiantly recommend,  maybe pick up a couple of interface pads, they come in two thicknesses, I use these with the standard soft pad for contours.
