The sanding disks for the Proxxon TG 125E seem to be kind of expensive compared to others. Not sure if they are specially made to be used with the silicon mounting strip or if they can be used with other brands of 5 inch sanding disks? If yes, what brands do you recommended?

Thanks,

Richard,

I'd bet dollars to donuts that they're "generic" much like the MicroMark.  I've used the generics from Lowe's on my Micromark without issue.  Just periodically clean off any remaining glue using some alcohol.

Thanks Mark

 

Brian,

So, I was not sure of the implications of the Proxxon silicon sheet feature. I only see that mentioned on the Proxxon so was not sure if other discs would be compatible with the silicon release or mess it up. Sounds like you use the Proxxon and it works for you. Do you have any specific brands of sanding discs you prefer?

 

Thanks,

Richard T.
