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

Sander can vacuum up all the dust. Incredible.

Great product, superior sanding, less loading up. I use in wood bowl turning, BUT this is the 3rd time I have ordered 80 grit and get 400 grit. This time I got a box of 400 grit with an 80 grit torn off top of a box says 80 grit.

Great sandpaper. I order this frequently for my shop. However, amazon fulfillment is a joke. I order 220 grit and 3 times have gotten 80 grit.

As others have mentioned, I received mine in a Clayton box with a mirka sticker. The discs themselves do appear to be mirka labeled, but I still question if they are legitimate.

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.

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.

It was what I expected

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.

This is the best for using on an orbital sander. Leaves virtually no scratches.

I have tried many sanding disks out there that are sold, and this is the best one I have used to date. It is expensive so buy in bulk and the price is much cheaper. Many times these products are not described as what best to use for. Are you using on bare wood? Are you using to abrade a varnish? Are you using it to remove varnish? All are questions that are very relevant to what type of sanding disk to use or buy, as many times one is not very well suited for another application, as in my case, varnish removal or abrading for finish coat. These disks are the best I have used that eliminate all sanding scratches if used correctly. Very important for either getting ready to varnish or for abrading for finish coat. This is where these shine. No scratches whatsoever. Please be very careful when sanding as any water based finish will show scratches much more than oil finishes, and many will tell you to not use aluminum oxide paper with silicate for water born finishes as the scratches will show through. This review is for polyurethane finishes only as I do not use water based finishes. These have excellent scratch resistant properties which I have had problems with using other manufacturers sanding disks. That is the bottom line for me. However, I was not totally impressed with dust pickup using my vac on the RO sander. That is why I gave it 4 stars. It is best to use a pad protector under these, which I did, and that may have contributed to less than impressive dust control. However, the protector aided in sanding much more efficiently. Bottom line is these are excellent quality sanding disks, seem to last as long or longer than others, and no scratches whatsoever. No fisheyes either. These are my go to sanding disks when I get ready to apply my first coat of varnish or my final coat of varnish. I use cheaper disks for the bull work and then use these to finish off. Buy them and you will not be disappointed. I have used these for over 30 years so I am not talking as a homeowner, but as a professional. Also remember to use a quality RO sander as these work in unison with the right equipment and you cant beat the new RO sander by Porter Cable for the money.
