Sand Paper
Whats your preferred brand? Do you buy it from the Borg?
I grabbed up some from ACE (store brand) not long ago for my ROS.... no great price or anything, just happened to need it and was there. Seems like the worst paper I have every used ! Sands well for about 5 mins and then a 100 grit pad wont remove a pencil mark without substantial effort !
I am going back to the Gator brand from Lowes.....

I have been using Mirka gold for 5 inch, five hole, H&L sanding disks for about six years. I buy them from Amazon for about 15 bucks for a box of 50.
For straight sandpaper sheets I use Norton 3X.

I use the Norton 3x stuff. My HD seems to always have some type of closeout or 2 for 1 deal on it.

Yeah, that's where I buy mine in the contractor packs. It's about as cheap as it gets.
