Got the Ridgid 6" VS ROS; in need of good quality, yet reasonable
disks. Thanks.
Is 80-220 suggested? w/o skipping? Or is 220 overkill.. stop at 180?
I've heard various opinions. And heard skipping one is OK too.
Comments? The h&l is going to make this less of a headache.
As a side note.. I have the PC 5" 7335 adhesive disk sander.. had it
for 10 years or so. Great sander, but w/o the dust hood it's not real
enjoyable to use. Not sure the hood would be that effective. I saw a
Festool, I believe, at a WW show plugged into a shop vac. No
noticeable dust escaping. I was envious. The Ridged, attached to a
shop vac is comparable, if not equivalent. Aaaaaah, I might actually
start to enjoy sanding :-)

Ditto...Klingspor is great for everything <except> discs. For some
reason they seem to be somewhat high and last catalogue listed no PSA w/
holes of proper size.
I ordered a trial bunch of the Amazon-pushed brand for trial and was
well satisfied so I've been using them exclusively. Still can't beat
Klingspor for belts, however.

100/120-180 for me. 100 on an ROS is extremely aggressive, so I usually
start at 120, go 180, set for fuzz and cut it with 220 on the speedbloc or
by hand.
DON'T PRESS!!!!!
Klingspor is where I used to order my sand paper but now I bought some discs
from Amazon because of the free shipping.
