Mirka 9A-241-AP Abranet 6 Sanding Disc Assortment, 35 pack

The 80 grit Mirka Abranet discs dont seem to have any advantage over the regular granat 80 grit pad from festool - perhaps less life, in fact. Used on end grain walnut where I really needed a long-lived abrasive and was disappointed. Later; Put a gently used one on the pad protector (Festool) and it started cutting well - these are pretty good, in fact.

Mirka is my go to sandpaper, just make sure you use a protection pad to keep from burning your sanders grip.

Definitely the way to go if you have a lot of sanding to do. Allows better dust collection. The only negative with the product is price, they are expensive. I am not a commercial woodworker and I have an inventory of $400-$500 of these on hand, that is a pretty big investment in sandpaper!

I use these pads 5 years and its really good

Great deal on very good sandpaper. These allow vacuums to suck up the sanding dust far better than big box brands and they typically last 2-3 times longer. If you do a sanding project 1-2 times a year, don’t bother, but if you are a hobbyists or professional, these are a must-have.

Once I got my Mirka sander (I still have a Ceros) I rarely use my belt sander. With an 80x disc on there it really does a good job of taking down the surface and leaving it nice. Let the grit do the work for you- keep at the coarse until its done all it can, only then begin finer grits. I do have some of the Abranet HD that goes down to 40x, but for most everything I do I begin at 80x.

Worked well with my sander, don’t clog up like normal sanding pads.

These sanding disks allow for superior dust collection and have great longevity in all grits but 80 and it seems to come of base plate on orbital sanders quicker than the others even with the hook and loop adapter. Still better than the alternatives.

We all know the part we hate the most about most projects...the sanding, and the dust, and the poor quality of big box store sanding disks. This product makes that hated task a beeze. Superior dust handling if your sander is hooked up to a dust collector or vacuum. Consistent grit, so it wont leave scratches. If you havent tried this product you should. Its not 3M, but very close, and the dust removal due to the net design is great.

Im not sure why I havent bought these before with the amount of sanding I do. Dust collection is MUCH better than using a regular disc. The discs seem to last quite a bit longer since they dont load up. The disc itself is kinda thin but I believe that is an advantage. Step up from big box discs and buy these now!
