S800 Vlie abrasive in 5" ???

[JSands]

Huh?  Why available in the 6" but not the 5"...can't find it anywhere?
Just bought the RO125, will do lots of metal and wanted the fine finish of the S800?
As always, NEVER assume...  hopefully someone will tell me I am wrong...

1000 grit won't do the trick? You can get Mirka Abranet in 800 grit and use a soft pad but I don't know if that helps.

Any reason you couldn't use the 6" size on a 5" sander?  [huh]

Strange indeed.

Just buy the 6'' disks and cut them to size with a pair of scissors.

 

[fdengel]

Do the holes line up?

 

[mosez]

the vlies doesnt have any holes. so it should not be a problem...

 

[JSands]

I guess I can use the 6" and cut them back...

still curious why they don't offer the same abrasives in 5" vs. 6" ?
