Orbital sandpaper - MiscellaneousDave - 06-01-2020
Are the holes in orbital sandpaper standard? I was wondering if I had to buy the same brand to get the holes or if they are standard.

Pretty sure it's standardized, the stuff from Harbor Freight matches Diablo.

I havent seen any sand paper deals in a while. Seems like a lot of stuff goes in waves. Amazon pretty regularly has better prices on sandpaper than a lot of retail stores.
I remember going to Farm & Fleet all the time buying 5 packs of sandpaper. Cant remember how much it was back in like 2002 but I am pretty sure I spent a small fortune on it....or whatever is a fortune for a teenager... come to think of it I was poor so I probably only spent like $20 on it.

Do you find Amazon to be cheaper than HF in this regard?

The holes are all standardized these days, but it wasn't always that way.
Several years ago, sanding disks were like lug nut patterns....every manufacturer had their own. Some were peel-n-stick while others were hook and loop.
I'm glad they are all the same now.

Just saw on HF they have a 4pk for $4. You can probably find 60-80 pack for like $12-$14 on Amazon.

I still get a bunch of peel and stick sandpaper, no holes. Dust gets in between the paper and the pad and the paper ends up flying across the garage.
