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

These pads are very durable , easy to use and clean afterwards. I like that the assortment had a range of grit pads that can accommodate a variety of projects.

Did a great job on an epoxy table

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.

Just sanded 25 drawer fronts. Impressed on the lack of sanding dust that escaped from around the sander. Did not even have to wear a dust mask which I have always considered mandatory. After going through all grits up to 320, a final wipe down with naphtha found only a little dust. Disks DO last a LOT longer. I would guess 10 to 20 times longer. I normally expect a disk to last through maybe 4 to 6 sq ft. These lasted LOTS LONGER. Highly recommend. Seldom give 5 stars but this product is not only better than expected, it also is well worth the increased cost.

The discs themselves are fine. But like some others have said, I did not receive 400 or 600 grit even though the images and the box I received indicate I should have. Those were part of the main draw and their absence certainly decreases the value proposition rather significantly.

These mesh discs are great for final finish sanding. Fits on my Festool finish sander... no holes to match pattern for vac system. Mesh also minimizes pigtail swirls.

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

When connected to an extractor (vacuum) the net and the accessory pad pulls nearly all the dust out of the air and keeps the workpiece clean so you get a much better finish. I started using these to sand cabinet doors between coats and the final finish is extraordinary.... even with an orbital sander. Theres also a hand pad for areas too delicate for a machine.

I use these abrasives on a Festool sander with a pad. Works very well providing a smooth even finish. Long lasting as they stay clean. I like them better than traditional sanding discs. Will by other grits as well.

I use it with a festool sander hooked up to a vacuum, and there is no dust in the air whatsoever. Only the tiniest film of dust remains on the wood surface after sanding, which wipes up easily with a microfiber cloth. The sanding action itself is superb, the low grades cut quickly, and the high grades will leave a glassy smooth finish even on a soft surface like baltic birch ply.
