Hi, FYI and a question?
Microplane make 3 grades of stainless steel sandpaper. (Fine 180-200; Medium 100-120; Coarse 40-60 grit). They are 5" Hook & Loop disc sanders, sell for about $13 odd (USD). Great for flat surface sanding!
Technical details etc can be found at http://www.microplane.com/html/tools/sandpaper.html
Does anyone in Australia sell this???????

Sculptured BoxCarbatec stock the Microplane Surform replacement blades. Maybe you could order the sanding discs from them.

Actually there are 2 types, one for hand sanding in 'sheets' and the other for ROS machines. I think there was an earlier thread here somewhere & it was reported that the ROS sheets tended to clog quickly.

The current types of ROS discs are only for use on hardwood. The new design will do softwood as well.
