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

Because you are using the entire disk to sand with and does not have dust hole pattern with the entire disk being mesh I get much better results and consistency especially in the higher grits. However the dust collection is great along the whole line. I am using a Festool dust collector with a 5” Mirka Ceros and could not be happier.

far superior to other products Ive used if only the Velcro was more durable then it would be 5 stars.

Great quality and last 2 to 3 times longer than any other sandpaper I’ve tried.

great product will buy again

Im using lots of this stuff in oak cabinet refinishing between coats of certain sanding sealers, lacquers etc. On old cabinets where we decided not to remove all the old stain/dye layers, we abraded the surface with these before applying de-waxed shellac seal coat. The first panel was cut quickly but these pads seem to wear down much quicker than say, Festool Granat papers. In between coats, I may use the 400 grit. For really light abrasion to de-nub overspray, etc, I may use the pre conditioned (used) sanding discs. Im using the Mirka pad protectors designed for these pads on a ROS. Wish they had this available in sheets for my other orbital sander (non rotating) that uses 80x130mm paper. 5 pads to to a rectangle are well shy of getting 130mm but can be usable for corners. The dust removal is OK, but not as great as the paper designed explicitly for my ROS with a dust extractor. You can vacuum theses pads between usage, or rinse & dry them.

The mesh holds up just fine, but the abrasive doesn’t last. Have to use 3 times the discs vs what I can get at Home Depot. I guess you get what you pay for and these are not worth the price when you figure out how many you have to go use.

I love the Abranet system! It requires an extra pad protector, and the disks are more expensive than the paper Mirka disks I was buying before. But the disks last much longer, the sander is able to pick up more of the dust, and I am able to get a much smoother finish on the hard maple I first sanded with these. Before, I stopped at 320 grit because the pads became ineffective (clogged or the grit wore out, Im not sure which) so fast that I didnt think finer grit was even worth trying. Because I bought the 35 piece variety pack of Abranet disks, I bought a 5 pack of the protector pads separately. Now I can sand up to 600 grit, and the finish is glassy smooth. Im glad I got 5 of the protector pads because now I can share samples of the Abranet system with friends.

Worked like a charm for sanding my walnut epoxy tabletop! Good to have the variety pack to work your way from rough sanding to fine sanding! Love these

I like the way it sands. Everything arrived as scheduled.

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