While in Japan, I bought a few of the sanding pads that had steel for the sanding pad itself. You can see them here:

I just took if for granted that this type of pad was widely available. But in looking back here and online, I noticed that this is primarily a Japanese product. In Japan, I even saw 5 inch metal round pads for sanders and with different grits, some even course enough to be used as a thick paint stripper (Looked like it could strip thin tree bark off of a young tree.)
I have been looking for something like that for my sanders over here - to quickly strip several layers of paint off of old walls. However, I cannot find the metal plate type of sanding disks over here.
The reason that I am looking for "metal" is that it is my experience that these metal sanding plates do not load up like normal sand paper, clean very easily, and stay abrasive a looong time.
Anyone know of any?

I just found 4 of them yesterday and wish that I had more. They are great for knocking of a the edge of a just cut board. I used to have course and fine but I could only found the fine set yesterday - when l was looking for the face plate!
