Anyone got a good source for 1/4 sheet (114mm * 102mm) hook & loop (aka generic Velcro) abrasive pads? Ideally pre-punched with 2 rows of 3 holes to fit a Makita sander?
I tried an online trader Toolshop Direct but they seem to be in the business of attempting to organise the mass imbibing of intoxicating beverages in a fermentation production facility :-(
Only just bought the sander and still using the pack that came with it. May have to resort to what Screwfix suggest and buying rolls of paper and cutting them up and using with the machine's clamp mechanism. (And punching extract holes if I want them with the plastic gadget that came with the machine, until I lose that!)
Which wouldn't be the end of the world but the pre-cut pre-punched pads with hook & loop are just so convenient.
Depends how many sheets one's buying ...
... but probably no ;-)
Would not a half sheet and a pair of scissors do the trick?
Nah angle grinder ;-)

You run the risk of blunting the scissors. Simply fold the sheet in half re peatedly to form a crease then with it folded rip it with the back of a kni fe, or a ruler or some-such. Feeling skilled ? Hang the folded edge alongsi de the work bench and rip the half off by tearing it downwards.

Given the appearance of your replies you should be the last person to offer advice on how to snip.
The serrated edge of a fine tooth (tenon) saw works better.
