It's easy, you just buy the sand paper disc with the velcro. I used mine for sanding plenty of times...it is what it was designed for. ;)

That's weird they don't have them. I get mine from places like Lowes, Home Depot, and my small local hardware. You should not have any problems finding them.
 
I plan on buying the 7336 instead of the 7424 since it's really the same machine, but the 7336 comes with a sanding backplate while the 7424 comes with an essentially useless foam pad. It's been awhile since I dove into a woodworking project , but I do plan on using my PC for that too. Plus makes it easier to help justify $$$ to the wife, lol.
 
velobrad, you'll be happy to know that most of the 7336's come with the same essentially useless foam pad as well (mine did). Look for a package that says bonus useless polishing foam pad included. ;)
 
Hardware stores and home centers around here have hook&loop sanding disks but selection of sizes, grits and dust collection hole patterns is usually limited. (Also, the quality and performance of "tool company" branded abrasives can be pretty mediocre.)



I like to use Klingspor abrasives for woodworking. In the "wood belt" of the southeast US you can find their products off the self but I order them through their catalog and online subsidiary.



Definitely get a copy of their print catalog. It's awesome. (The online catalog is kind of difficult to navigate and not as informative.)



If you don't want to deal with ordering I'm sure you can find a distributor for Mirka, Norton or 3M disks in your area. (But I'd highly recommend Klingspor.)
