Festool Abrasives

I just plunked down a good chunk of change on a bunch of Festool brand
abrasives. I'm going to be resurfacing a Corian counter and could only
buy the appropriate grits in packs of 100. <grumble> I'm wondering,
is anyone else is making 6" discs for the Festool Rotex sanders?

Yep, you're right. They sell 6", 9-hole discs that fit Festool
sanders. They are, however, more expensive that the Festool brand.

Thanks much - I'm going to call specialtytools on Monday, because I
don't believe they've shipped my order yet. It looks very interesting.

I believe that Klingspoor does but I am not sure of the number of holes.

I the past I have found Klingspoor abrasives to more expensive per disk than
other brands but a much better value but have only used 5".

Mirka Abranet is a nice alternative. Joest (Germany) makes some nice
stuff as well.
Klingspor does make a series of 9-hole discs
(http://www.woodworkingshop.com/cgi-bin/F90E5555/mac/subgrp.mac/subGroupS
electionLoop)
http://www.specialtytools.com/ carries many choices for the Festool
sanders.

I'll add Mirka to that same cost/value category.
