After all the positive reviews of the ETS150 sander, I decided to buy one (my second Festool purchase) and I finally received it today. I was holding off on buying abrasives for it until I got a chance to try it out with the samples that supposedly came with it, but to my disappointment it didn't come with any! I thought at a minimum they would include at least one sample of sandpaper, and according to some others on this site there was a small assortment of sandpaper when they bought theirs, but alas I can't try the sander out until I buy some disks.
For general purpose wood finish sanding (Oak, Cherry, Walnut), what are the recommendations on type and grits? I was planning to buy 80, 120, 180 and 220, but I'm not sure what the best type would be. I was hoping to get this figured out with the "included" assortment. I guess I'll have to wait another week or two before I get excited again [crying]
