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

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.

Sander can vacuum up all the dust. Incredible.

These are best for larger flat surfaces. On narrow stock, the edge of the disk comes loose, sometimes creating a folded section at the out edge. Sometimes the disk would fly off, but that might have been due to condition of unlying pad. Hard to tell about longevity. Think Ill stick with Diablo

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.

I just came across these 01-23-21 thrown in with all the other 5 sander disks. I dont remember purchasing them 08-18. It was a time I was drawing my SS and kept working ,as a machinist ,an extra two years putting every spare dime into my future woodworking because I new I would have very little money for such things after I retired. The backing is a bit like scotch bright only less dense. You dont have to worry bout lining the holes up making you a much cleaner environment. Were all more aware of dust and fumes these days especially when we hit 60 years old which i did 10 years ago. Just dont sand out anything thats wet, I assume they will clog up, and they should last at least as long as the standard ones.

This box of sandpaper was correct. I wanted the 120 grit 5-inch Mirka sanding disks, and thats what I got. Didnt matter they were in a different box.

Been a woodworker, a long time, this is a good product, and you dont have to line up the holes.

I like the way it sands. Everything arrived as scheduled.

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

Sweet media once you know How to use it with a Vac system and the right sander.
