Mirka 9A-232-AP Abranet 5-Inch Mesh Grip Discs

Mesh grit works better than paper. Decent Velcro adhesion. Overpriced for what they are.

Dustless and long lasting. Great for big jobs

Abranet discs are the way to go. Expensive but they last longer and dust is not an issue.

Sander can vacuum up all the dust. Incredible.

After receiving 3 boxes of these in Clayton packaging and reading the other reviews on here I reached out to Clayton directly. They confirmed that they are a partner of Mirkas and provide materials to the aerospace and military industries. They purchase the Mirka material in large rolls and cut the discs themselves. So there is nothing to be concerned about with regards to the authenticity if the box says Clayton but the discs say Mirka.

Abranet is definitely longer lasting than traditional orbital sanding disks. Its the only abrasive disk i use now. For those of you interested or curious: I did purchase a big box of the Autonet to compare. My observations: stick with Abranet for wood sanding. Autonet does not last nearly as long on wood.

These are amazing. So few things are this close to perfect. Virtually zero dust with my sander hooked up to a vacuum. You just shake/beat off the built-up gunk and theyre good as new. Youll get more sanding done with a single one of these than you will with a whole box of the paper ones (and more quickly because youre not constantly dusting them off or changing them out)

A heavy duty RO sander will eat Abranet discs like peanuts. I bought #180 but should have begun with #80 then moved up gradually. Adequate for finishing but not for finish removal. Loads up too fast for the price. Plan to try Mirka next.

These things last way longer than crappy box stores product. Great for epoxy bc they dont gum up. Very stiff so not good for tight curves. I use these along side Norton.

Havent used this grit yet but the others that I have work pretty good at removing old finish since they dont seem to gum up like normal paper.
