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

I use this on Dewalt sander, couple with a powerful Shopvac and virtually no dust can be seen. I also use it on soft pad to avoid swirl marks due to powerful suction from the vacuum. The pad last a long time because it doesn’t gum up often like normal pad.

Mirka Abranet is the best sandpaper, hands down. Whether used on my CEROS or hand-held on turning projects, this stuff performs amazingly well. It doesnt clog nearly as easily as any other competing product and heat build-up is kept to a minimum.

I did not receive the 400 or 600 grit discs. All the other discs were present and worked great, till I went to sand to the higher grits I wanted to use. It isnt worth the time to take the whole set to return and reorder as I rarely will need those higher grits, but is worth noting. Despite the issue, I have used these for varied woods and resins. Definitely work well.

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.

These are pretty amazing. Id been using Harbor Freight sanding discs for ages and recently got some Mirka solid sanding discs and was impressed by the improvement. I just saw these mesh discs, also from Mirka and decided to give them a try. I think theyre as much better than the standard solid Mirka discs as those were from my old HF ones. They sand unusually quickly and leave a good finish. The only problem they have is tearing. If I hit a sharp corner with the outer edge of the disc it runs the risk of tearing the disc, which then propagates quickly. Otherwise the grit lasts indefinitely as far as I can tell. Ive always torn one before the grit wore out. Im toying with running a bead of epoxy around the outer edge on the back side so that it wont tear as easily. Im afraid thatll mess with the quality of the work, though.

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. Also, you do need to hook into dust collection to gain all the benefits of Abranet, otherwise there will be sanding dust everywhere just like any other abrasive disk

Great sanding disks but expensive

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

I love Merca sanding screens. I’m not even going to finish off the boxes of other discs I have. They are durable, fewer to no pigtails, great dust extraction, and deliver great results. Great product at a good price! I just wish they had bigger variety pack options.

Very nice result for sanding finishes to recoat
