I have a Richardson Ranch upright polisher that uses 7" velcro backed polishing pads. I normally buy them from one guy who I bought the machine from, but this guy does not use the internet and one day, I am sad to say, he will die. I have looked all over the place and can not find these pads. When he does die or stop his business, I will not have a supplier. Also he will have certainly taken the secret supplier to the grave with him.
Does anyone have any idea where to find these pads? I really do not wish to have to glue every sheet to a head. This would be very time consuming to say the least.

Is it possible to buy a 7" pressure sensitive adhesive (PSA) pad and a sheet of PSA Velcro (from the craft store) and make your own Velcro pads?
Still time consuming, but only requires one head.
Darryl.

The only place that I could find other than the one where they have a minimum order of 10,000 pieces sells in a decent quantity, but not mixed grits. The minimum order for them, would be about 300 bucks to get a good assortment.
150, that would be extravagantly expensive. Somewhere around 10 bucks each at least.
