ROS discs???

Is there any ROS sand paper disks better than another? Is there a "best" source to buy these disks? I like to use the sticky back disks.

I'm a hook and loop guy so the Norton 3X stuff does OK for me. I have also used the Klingspor stuff that is made in Germany and they offer it in PSA.

In addition to Norton 3X and Klingspor, I've used Mirka and been very satisfied with all three.

I picked up a full compliment of grits of Mirka from Amazon. I don't know what their prices are now, but it was a good deal when I bought it all.... large boxes, like 50 sheets or so.
First time I ever got Mirka and was very impressed.

I use Norton 3X to and it is good.

I also use Mirka and am satisfied with it. I get the best deals from Woodworker Supply (woodworker.com)
