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

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

These arent the cheapest, but definitely worth the money. I use them with my Festool ETC and a Festool dust extractor. Almost zero dust after and the surface is great. These also seem to not clog and last longer than standard sanding discs. I do use the pad protector that goes between the sanding disc and sander pad. I have a 5 and 6 sander and have only replaced the protector pad on either once or twice in 12-18 months. I have a small woodworking business and do a fair amount of sanding. These are definitely my favorite discs.

I use these pads 5 years and its really good

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.

This highbred sandpaper removes material very quickly. The big advantage is that it does not easily plug up from glue or old finish. I use a wire brush to clean off sticky materials. Also the dust collection is far superior to standard grit/paper sanding discs. I believe it is more economical than standard grit paper in the course of grits. These disks last longer and save time by not having to stop in the middle of a job to change disks. I have to say I do not see a significant difference in the finer grits below 120. I use Abranet 80, 100, and 120 with a Festool Rotex 150 and selectable oscillation, which helps smooth out sanding marks between these course grits. 100 grit is favorite.

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.

They last several times longer than the paper disc of the same grade. Do not clog and stay attached to the sander until you remove them.

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.

Price is high but works exceptionally well and has good longevity.

I seem to recall the practice of advertising one thing and delivering another illegal. Whats that called again? Oh, thats right: bait and switch. Ive ordered several variations of both grits and sizes over the last two years from Amazon and about two-thirds of my orders have arrived not in a Mirka box but in a yellow and white Clayton Abrasives box. The mesh is poorly cut and often some of them have what appears to be oils stains. Amazon is good about getting them swapped out for replacements but what happens when the replacements are also knock-off items? Well, this has also happened several times over the last few years. After three attempts on one order the tech admitted there must be something wrong with their supply and that they would notify management. I guess they never got the message because my most recent order today arrived once again in a non-Mirka box. As to the actual product, if you get the Mirka version, its great! The mesh is prone to tearing on sharp edges which can be frustrating but the dust collection is great and so is the ease of attachment to your ROS. One thing to be aware of, however, whatever sander you use, make sure you invest in some pad protectors. Basically, thin layers of protection between the mesh and the sanding pad. The mesh is great but one downside appears to be that the hooks on many ROS poke through and are worn down and eventually lose their ability to hold a piece of sandpaper. Thats a pretty big disappointment but it seems to be the trade off for great dust collection. Even Festools version of mesh sanding discs requires the use of a pad protector. Anyway, good luck in your order. I like the product but I need to find a more reliable means of getting the genuine article.
