DO NOT substitute paper. The three major factors for the effectiveness
of the Fein are the stroke pattern, the mass of the motor and the very
short hooks and loops in the pad and paper. Fien paper has much shorter
loops than any other H&L paper I have found. Long loops mean lost motion.

I just searched to find what they look like... it is possible that the
pads that fit on the Ryobi detail sander might fit (or at least come
close enough to only need a little trimming). Or:

I found these with Yahoo search...

Or: what I did with my random orbital sander (which was made for sticky
discs) was to buy a replacement hook and loop pad and glue it on. It
works like a charm. You could get one and trim it down to the right
size for the Fein. You'd probalby be able to get at least 2 out of a 5"
circular pad.

I purchased a Fein detail sander a few months ago and really like it.
The
problem is finding replacement sanding discs. This unit uses the sticky
backed kind rather than the hook and loop type. Where can I find
replacement sanding triangles?
Thanks,
