Select Machinery is where I get my Klingspor brand hook and loop for my Festool sanders, made with the Festool hole pattern, and its about 1/2 the price of Festool, and it lasts at least as long.
Aren't Festool tools & supplies the same price no matter where you buy them? I don't have any Festool sanders, but I use Klingspor disks & they are the best I've used.
I’ll second Klingspor. We use it our shop for all sanders and I’ve been very happy.
Beaver or ToolNut. I find the latter has better selection/stock, but Beaver did buy Bob's business and they seem like nice folks.

I second the recommendation for toolnut.com. The best site for the festool sandpaper is festoolproducts.com, which has the best search function for what you need. They also have the 42-hole sandpaper for the newer sanders, which Klingspor apparently doesn't. BTW, festoolproducts and toolnut appear to be closely associated, if not owned by the same company?
Thanks. I want to stick with the Festool paper. I bought a slew of Klingspor PSA paper for my 5” ROS once. After ~ a year of it sitting on the shelf it became almost impossible to remove the clear cellophane backing. I ended up tossing all of it in the trash. The paper itself worked great.

Can anyone recommend a source other than Amazon for RTS 400 Rubin sandpaper? Klingspor used to carry it but looks like they no longer do. Amazon current price is $25 for q pack of 50.

I started with absolutely nothing. Now, thanks to years of hard work, careful planning, and perseverance, I find I still have most of it left.
I'm a Mirka, Abranet, Abralon fan, big time. Get it here: http://supergrit.com/
I modified their subpads to match up with Festool hole pattern for the finer grits of Abranet.
It is easier to be imperfect and plan for it, than to try to be perfect and swear at it.
