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

Great sandpaper. I order this frequently for my shop. However, amazon fulfillment is a joke. I order 220 grit and 3 times have gotten 80 grit.

After receiving 3 boxes of these in Clayton packaging and reading the other reviews on here I reached out to Clayton directly. They confirmed that they are a partner of Mirkas and provide materials to the aerospace and military industries. They purchase the Mirka material in large rolls and cut the discs themselves. So there is nothing to be concerned about with regards to the authenticity if the box says Clayton but the discs say Mirka.

This stuff is amazing. Adding this to the Mirka sander means a practically dust free sanding experience. Obviously no sanding operation will every truly be dust free, but this stuff is right up there. You have to really pay attention to what you are doing since the lack of dust makes it seem like the pads arent working, but before you know it, youll be through veneer or have a rounded corner. I recommend the abranet abrasives for both the mirka and for woodturning since there is almost sanding dust clog. It is a little more expensive than regular paper, but lasts longer. You get what you pay for.

Been a woodworker, a long time, this is a good product, and you dont have to line up the holes.

Best abrasive on the planet when used with the proper tool and dust extractor (for me its the very fine Deros & 912 Vac system) It works when you use it as its designed to work with dust extraction on the tool.

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

A heavy duty RO sander will eat Abranet discs like peanuts. I bought #180 but should have begun with #80 then moved up gradually. Adequate for finishing but not for finish removal. Loads up too fast for the price. Plan to try Mirka next.

I was sanding shellac on a guitar. Did a good job but the pads didnt last as long as I had hoped given the price.

The sandpaper works great, but I ordered 150 grit and got 80 grit. Thats why you only get 3 stars. Gonna keep it because it works great, but I didnt get what I wanted. I bet the 150 grit I actually ordered is fantastic.
