Sand Paper for M0595 Hand Sanding Blocks

[DrD]

I appreciate any assistance I can get in locating paper to use with my hand sanding blocks (Festool M0595).  I don't see on Festool's website any mention of un-perforated paper for these blocks.  I live in a rural area and none of the hardware stores (big box nor mom&pop) have sheets of hook & loop paper; they have circular, perforated h&l backed, but nothing else.  Any help, please.

Thanks

The round sanding blocks use Festool 150mm abrasives. The same paper as the RO150. The rectangular block uses 80 x 133 abrasives. The same paper as the RTS 400.

Bhend18, appreciate the quick response. 

Aren't those papers perforated?  I really am looking for non-perforated papers.  In using perforated papers with the hand blocks, sawdust, grit and other "stuff" tends to accumulate in the perforations, and potentially creates issues with the finish of the surface be sanded.

There used to be a great steak house in Nashville that served miniature silver dollar sized cornbread as an app - great old place.

You're right about the perforated sandpaper combined with the hand blocks.
Sometimes it gets clogged or tears down because of the perforation.
But Festool hardly has any sandpaper which is not perforated.
I only know it's available in Ø115/180 mm, 93 mm and 46 mm for the small Pocket Block.

I don't think you'll find that many manufactures which sell sandpaper which is not perforated AND with Velcro.
You could try Mirka, SIA, Hermes, Norton or Klingspor.

The best I've found is Mirka Abranet, Autonet or Abralon.
But you'll have to use an interface pad otherwise the Velcro gets ruined.
