Using abranet sandpaper on Ets Ec 150/5 Random Orbital

[westcoastpainter]

I asked at Lee Valley where I just purchased the Ets Ec 150/5 what protection pad I need to use for abranet paper, but the employee I spoke to said they never heard of using it on Festool.

I would order some of the granat net, but in Canada I can't find a source offering less than 50 packs.

Will the abranet stick to this Festool protection pad? It's the one made for the granat net.https://www.leevalley.com/en-ca/sho...50-5-eq-mj2-protection-pad-d150?item=ZA203343

Or is there one made for Festool that specifically accepts the abranet paper?

There's this one for abranet, but the holes are slightly different.https://www.leevalley.com/en-ca/sho...42-platen-protector-for-abranet-sanding-discs

I've been using the Mirka protection pads on my Festool sanders. Works really well.

I recommend using the D 150 mm protection pad [member=44099]Cheese[/member] mentioned, over the Mirka Abranet pad protector.

At the recommendation of Chris Wong ([thumbs up]), I recently bought this (D125) for my Pro5 Ltd:
