RO 90 Sand Paper

[nehardwoodfloors]

Am I the only one that likes to collect sand paper?

When I run out of a staple paper, I re-order it and try a different kind as well.

I get a warm fuzzy feeling looking at all my sand paper. [cool]

I do kind of agree about the 50 count being a good size, I think some of the lower grits come in 25 counts, like Saphir.

It is nice having a supply.

[big grin] dude you hit the nail on the head. My rotex has just about every kind of festool paper from grits 24  to 180!

Nah, you're just a wannabee, a real die hard goes all the way up to 4000!  [poke]

To me it's not a question of a sander costin so and so much, even if it was to be for a single project only. It's the quality it can do by it's construction, combined with often lower noise, lesser dust and lesser chance of white fingers.
Many dealers here in Denmark sell paper by the piece and by packages. You're free to choose. My local small dealer allways throw in one or two sheets he sugests for a job I tell him about, just to test it out, so I can make the best choice in the future. That's what I call service. I never stumbled over other brands that do this as a service.
Mostly I end up buying a whole package or more. Speaking og Granat, which seriously reduce cost of paper for me at least because of longevity. What say you?

Cheers,
Jacques.

Wannabe? I could use the palm of my hand for anything above 180!

I believe Tom or Bob (hope that's accurate) will break out packages of sandpaper, so what does it matter if Festool offers smaller quantity packaging or not?  Sure you can't get them everywhere but as long as you can get them somewhere, you should be covered.   [dead horse] [dead horse] [dead horse]

Steve,

I will rebeat that dead horse  a bit more and say that  if Festool offered the smaller quantity packs as a regular catalog skew, people could order from any dealer, not just from a few dealers, or even pick them up locally if their store carried it. I am thinking the decision must come from Festool Germany as to whether or not the smaller quantity packs will be offered.

Let me get us back on topic here, well, sort of.  I'd think a 10 pack is a little small, I'd like to see 25 packs in every type and grit.

Plus one here.
