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

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.

Havent used this grit yet but the others that I have work pretty good at removing old finish since they dont seem to gum up like normal paper.

Sander can vacuum up all the dust. Incredible.

High quality

When connected to an extractor (vacuum) the net and the accessory pad pulls nearly all the dust out of the air and keeps the workpiece clean so you get a much better finish. I started using these to sand cabinet doors between coats and the final finish is extraordinary.... even with an orbital sander. Theres also a hand pad for areas too delicate for a machine.

These are amazing. So few things are this close to perfect. Virtually zero dust with my sander hooked up to a vacuum. You just shake/beat off the built-up gunk and theyre good as new. Youll get more sanding done with a single one of these than you will with a whole box of the paper ones (and more quickly because youre not constantly dusting them off or changing them out)

These things last way longer than crappy box stores product. Great for epoxy bc they dont gum up. Very stiff so not good for tight curves. I use these along side Norton.

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

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.

Hands down the best sandpaper you can get. Lasts forever if your using a sander with dust collection
