Great offer Bryan, unfortunately can't take advantage of it at present. Great value with the A$ so strong.

hello Bryan!
i purchased some 120 and 180 grit from Elraco @ $59/100
i don't know how much freight you will pay, but these guys are online distributors and very efficient on top of their excellant prices.

were they the festo one ?

and did they have 8 hole plus a centre hole?

it works out to be about 55$ a box for a 100 pack of festo 150mm disks
to buy them here is 100$ a box

hello Bryan
1 -they are the Starke Velcro discs
2 -yes 9 hole pattern
they do an excellant job for me, they last a long time indeed.
i'm not suggesting anything compares to Festool discs.
however, they are decent discs at very good price/delivery.

ok cheers its always good to here what works for other people

I am constantly amazed at how long the Festo discs wear. They are absolutely brilliant (no pun intended).

just as a matter of interest how much better do you guys rate the festool paper compared to other brands???.... is there any better quality paper for timber use

Gosh...thats fantastic...please post message next time your ordering again....only because I still have approximately half a box of all but didn't actually purchase any 400's.... my late husband & I purchased 4 different boxs of them from the last woodshow here in Perth that we attended (2005).... lost him to cancer...and now just getting back into the shed after 16 months not being able to see for tears...still gets hard to find that motivation...but the woodwork is calling me back...think Ed's spirit is pushing me back slowly & gently...

Main reason for contacting you is the difficulty in getting the 1200 grit... & 800 grit... I have only one ...that has just about been used beyond all reasonable expectations....

Please let me know how or where to get them...if you cant get them in Perth....where can I order them from....thanks

Hi Kerry,

what your after is "Champagne". It comes in grits from 600 up to 1500. Any of the papers you need can be ordered from many of the manufacturers who have it on rolls & punch it out or keep a bulk supply. When you call to place an order just ask for 150mm diameter & specify whether you want them punched with the 9 hole pattern (suits festool rotex) or not (in the case of Champagne if using it for hard burnishing you won't need it punched). These places have minimum order quantities but its much cheaper & is a one off expense that'll see you set up with the correct papers for a good while. I can't remember which one of these two have the champagne, but its one of them.

these are the bees knees for sanding.
received my parcel today -thanks again Bryan!
i've never used the festo discs before,
i can see them lasting for yonks, and doing a great job right through.
