I have found a couple of hook and look setups on the internet.
Besides the ones SS sells has anyone had any experience with any others?

I got one for my first (1985?) ER. Because of the flexibility of the hook & loop, I got rounded corners on stuff. If you want it for finish sanding, and want to break the sharp corners, get it.
However, if you're using it to make a glue joint, pass it by. If you glue up smaller pieces to make a table top, every joint will have a groove in it. If you're cutting a bunch of pieces the same size, and want to use the quill stop and rip fence method to sand them to the exact length, don't use the velcro mounted discs, for the same reason.
I'd rather have multiple discs, with different grit paper on each.
The alternative, a cheap one, is 6 inch discs on the 6 inch lathe faceplate. 6 inch discs are dirt cheap, compared to 12 inch ones. Another option, finding an 8 inch disc. Cut paper out of standard sheets of sandpaper to fit it. (I had one, but lost it in my trailer fire.)
