Alternatives to Fein Sandpaper

I'm not familiar with Fein's hole pattern, but you might want to look into Norton's 3x discs - they have oblong holes that are supposed to fit a variety of hole patterns.

Yes. I use disks with no holes at all. I exclusively use Abranet disks by Mirka. They are a screen and stick to both the Fein and Festool pads like dogsnot to a screendoor. Absolutely fabulous performance. A bit pricey, but when you factor in the durability, it is a deal again. Try some-you won't want anything else. Shop around for a supplier, discounts are available.

Hi Robatoy, That sounds great. So, you do not need a special adapter. Do you buy the Abranet in the GTA? Thanks, JG

I don't have Fein, so can't say exactly, but would presume if you ask Kingspor, they'll tell you since they have Fein products as well. Excellent abrasives, good prices.

As a general guess, I'd hazard that the 6", 8-hole pattern is pretty much standard for whoever uses it.

I've wondered why not simply make them "all holes" as it seems the tendency is to go to more for better dust collection as opposed to stock removal... :)
