My go to guy for sandpaper disks is Vince Welch. His prices are good, quality is excellent and he stands behind what he sells.

They can be a bit pricey but if you can get the larger quantities, like the 20 count box, it's not so bad. JMO

You can not beat the 3M sandpaper. I have some and save it for the important stuff and not for turning. It holds the edges of the grit and lasts along time and I really like it. If I could afford it that is all I would use for me and the vets but it is pricey for my very low budget.

For sanding discs

I love the purple discs which last for a good while but cut extreamly well and the backing does not come off. However, if sanding at high RPM any backing will melt off.

I would caution you on buying their form of Abranet. Even sanding at 250 rpm the backing comes off is seconds and the coating comes off almost as fast.

On the purple discs I stated is I have tried Lee Valley, Klingspor's, WoodCraft, Craftsupply, and Packard and none one of them are as good as the purple one.
