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

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

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.

Mesh grit works better than paper. Decent Velcro adhesion. Overpriced for what they are.

Long lasting. Not scientific, but last about 2-3 good paper sandpaper.

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.

Good job sanding, great for dust collection but the discs tear easily if they catch a sharp edge.

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.

As good as diablo, half the price

These discs work perfectly with my Mirka CEROS sander. Theres less heat build up than conventional discs. My only comment, and this is true of all the Abranet discs, is that they tear on the edges more readily than conventional discs. With care this can be limited.

Abranet is definitely longer lasting than traditional orbital sanding disks. Its the only abrasive disk i use now. For those of you interested or curious: I did purchase a big box of the Autonet to compare. My observations: stick with Abranet for wood sanding. Autonet does not last nearly as long on wood.
