Title: 150mm Sanding disks
Post by jasonB on Sep 16^th, 2004, 6:35pm

I have a Metabo SXE450 150mm random orbit sander and have been using Bosch discs from Axminster power tools. I find that they loose their edge very quickly especially when used on maple and oak.

Anyone recommend an alternative make and supplier, I was thinking of trying the Mirka ones from Rutlands but don't fancy buying a box of 100 if they are no good.

Thanks, Jason

Hi Jason

I have a Festool sander and use the Mirka discs from Rutlands and really like the quality of them mate ;).

They fix really well, not to thin, and last well. :)

Just my opinion mate but i would give them a go and see what you think

PS i have not really used them on hardwoods Jason so cant comment there sorry mate ???

Hope this helps
