Mirka Sanding Disks - Anyone Familiar?

Are they gold or "abranet"? I read that Klingspor are best bang for the buck. I used to use Norton blue ones for years but they didn't seem worth a darn I'd burn through those but I wasn't buying them. Once I switched to Festool sanders with dust collection I was blown away by how much better my sanding went and how much longer the discs lasted. Are you using Dynabrade style sanders? JP

I used to work for a distributor in the mid 90's. We sold Mirka to body shops. They have been around for a long time and it is a good paper for a middle quality paper.

If you want a paper that lasts a long time, that equates to cheaper, Festool Granat.

I bought a box of 100 5" disks for about $65. I may never have to buy that grit again.

Seriously, These out last the Festool Rubin paper by 5~10 times. Festool Rubin outlasted 3M by double.

I cannot advise using Klingspor. Terrible, their PSA paper would not let go, acetone was often used to remove the paper.

The Mirka disks were gold.

My ROS is a DeWalt D26453 which I can use with my dust collection system.

Are the Granat disks hook and loop or adhesive?

Hook and Loop.

And FWIW they do sell in 10 packs. A 10 pack would last me 3~4 large projects.
