Looks like they are pretty busy, looked it up and they are Greek. Anybody used any?
Just wish I hadn’t seen all that waste from between the discs they cut out, must be a use for it all.

Yes, I had some samples from eBrasives. Decent mesh abrasive in a variety of grits and sizes, works well.
clogs

Got a mixed box of ceramic disks from ebrasives around £25 for 50, they work well and seem to last for a decent amount of time.
Have just ordered the same!Got a mixed box of ceramic disks from ebrasives around £25 for 50, they work well and seem to last for a decent amount of time.
... and they arrived. Look like decent discs. Sadly, they won't stay on my Makita orbital sander. My older discs (Pronet) stay on - but I think the hook backing has been worn too much. (Should have used a pad saver!)
So what do I do?
Get a pad saver (hooks one side and loops the other) and hope it stays on?
I can't find a pad with hooks one side and adhesive on the other. Probably Googling for the wrong thing. I guess that's what I want (and a pad saver!)
[Edit] - And I WAS googling for the wrong thing! Found what I needed. Ignore me - I'll go away... [/Edit]
