Anyone know where I can get some self-adhesive 14" sanding discs?

Chris I don't bother with buying discs that size. I use 4" wide abrasive paper  and double sided sticky tape, works just as well. Cheaper too.

Have you tried “Abrasives Plus”?

They offer 355mm discs; is  that close enough?

(What do you need 14” self adhesive disc for?)

Thanks MC, I'll have a look at them for next time. I've got some 12" from Axminster for now.

They're for a 14" faceplate on the outboard side of my graduate.

Chris another thing I do is pop along to a local joinery company, one with a drum sander , and I buy the rolls of paper that fit their machines. Cut these to size and fix as previously advised.
