Tried the a 120 grit today and it cleaned up some birch ply a treat, faster than ordinary discs and nice and smooth. However there was some damage to the outer edge so which interface pads are recommended? I've noted @TheTiddles recommendation to not use them if sharp edges are needed.

 

[Droogs]

All interface pads lead to some softening of edges due to having some give in them. Only hard backing pads prevent that by having no give

Anybody know where I can buy a mixed order of 150mm 3M Xtract ideally a mixed order of 50 disks, 10 of each grit?

eBay you can normally get a selection of each.

Am surprised no ones mentioned SIA disc so far either.
I use a mixture of Mirka and abranet.
