It had been a while since I picked up any sandpaper for the two sanders I'm using now. I've typically bought in small quantities from the BORG or another local tool store. I decided I'd stock up this time as it's frustrating running out for small supplies when you need them now.
I stumbled upon 2sand.com while scouring for deals on Ebay. Their website has a rather impressive selection with all the different hole configurations nowadays. I ended up buying Rhynogrip discs for about $13 for a 50 pack. The shipping was very reasonable and very fast too.
I've used some of the Rhynogrip discs on my Ridgid 6" sander (100 grit) that I picked up cheap at an estate sale. I've only used a handful of discs though. They seem to be at least better than average quality. The local 50 packs of Mirka were $28 plus tax so I'm keeping my fingers crossed that I will have found a new bargain. Time will tell.

Thanks for the headsup, I'll have to check them out. I like the Rhyonalox plus white paper in sheets, I'm sure the discs are just as good.

I've used rhynogrit for several years now and continue to be pleased. I switched from Mirka fwiw. I use the r-grit on my green sanders too.
I don't notice much different in cut speed but the stuff lasts forever!

I've been using their 5 inch Festool pattern discs for about 3 years. Very pleased with them. They hold up quite well. Great price and good service from 2sand.

I used to order from Industrial Abrasives for Rhyno stuff but 2sand.com has all that and more like Abranet and Abralon. The owner is a member on WN but hasn't posted in awhile. I've ordered about three or four times over the years and always had good service.
