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

I was not so sure when I ordered that they would work, even though I never tried them. Well was I surprised. Better that sand paper, last a very long time, use over and over again. Great sanding power. I would recommend and I plan to purchase more.

Best abrasive on the planet when used with the proper tool and dust extractor (for me its the very fine Deros & 912 Vac system) It works when you use it as its designed to work with dust extraction on the tool.

If you have a Mirka Ceros (or Deros, I would presume) sander, this is simply the best bet for sanding disks. See my other reviews. The finish achieved with these sanding disks is superior, in my opinion, to paper disks. They seem to last longer, probably a function of more efficient dust/swarf removal and less heat build up.

This is a great sanding disc. Especially for sanding paint. Cheaper discs load up and are soon worthless. Youll get a lot more life out of this disc before it does the same. Nice and sharp right out of the box. Great for furniture.

I’ve lived Abranet products for years, and was delighted to discover a batch for my 5 inch orbital sander! Lasts longer than paper discs, which clog up quicker.

I love the Abranet system! It requires an extra pad protector, and the disks are more expensive than the paper Mirka disks I was buying before. But the disks last much longer, the sander is able to pick up more of the dust, and I am able to get a much smoother finish on the hard maple I first sanded with these. Before, I stopped at 320 grit because the pads became ineffective (clogged or the grit wore out, Im not sure which) so fast that I didnt think finer grit was even worth trying. Because I bought the 35 piece variety pack of Abranet disks, I bought a 5 pack of the protector pads separately. Now I can sand up to 600 grit, and the finish is glassy smooth. Im glad I got 5 of the protector pads because now I can share samples of the Abranet system with friends.

I’ve only used them once or twice, but so far I’m very impressed! If they hold up like I think they will, they’ll be a fantastic value. The mesh allows me to use my vacuum attachment which equals no sawdust flying around! The finish was incredibly smooth. I just bought a 6” pad, so now I’ll be looking at 6” sanding discs, and I’ll go with the same brand.

Mirka lies about Abranet.....They say it lasts twice as long and regular sanding disks but my experience is it lasts five times longer! I love these on my Mirka Deros sander.

I didnt realize there is a difference between the regular Abranet which uses aluminum oxide and the Abranet Ace that uses ceramic oxide. The ceramic oxide really keeps cutting for a long time. Oh well, Mirka sanders are excellent and even the regular Abranet is still a good product. FYI, seems like these burn out hook and loop pads on some non-Mirka sanders. You may want to use them with a pad saver.

For Mirka sanders, this is the best sandpaper you can buy. Breaths well for good suction. True to grit, fits perfectly, doesnt gum up quickly. However, it does like to tear on sharp edges. Use minimum of 120 grit for initial edgework and this 220 to finish off.
