the new hand sanding blocks from festool

[semenza]

just wondering how people like these, tempted, do they work OK w/ 125 abrasives?   Turned off by the price however!

I have them but I don't have any 125 abrasives to try. I think it would OK with one of the thicker backed  like Rubin, so that the excess velcro is kept off the surface. But  ..........................  hard to say.  The one block used 80 x 133.  I do like them.

Not sure how much sanding you plan on doing with them or how wide a  range  of grits you might need. I tend to use  150 , 180,  or 320 on them so maybe a couple 10 packs of 150mm and or  80 x 133 abrasives would do the trick?

I'd like to grab the round ones as I'd like to get away from keeping/carrying as much sheet paper on hand as I do.  
At $30 a pop however I want them to fit my abrasives! [eek]
