Leaves a Silky Finish

2004-03-31
I have purchased every grit of Mirka sanding disks from Amazon, and I find them to be good quality. The price per disc works out to be a great value if you purchase them in packs of 50.

The 220-grit discs do a great job leaving a silky finish on wood. I use them on cutting boards and table tops, and when you're done sanding with the 220-grit, you are ready for applying finish.

I used these disks on my Bosch random-orbit sander. The hook-and-loop backing is strong and holds on through rough sanding. The aluminum oxide sanding material lasts for a good amount of time. I have bought other brands of sanding discs that do last longer, but the Mirka discs definitely hold up well.

The discs are packaged in a sturdy box with a cover, which makes it easy to dispense them as needed. Also, having them stored in a box keeps them clean, which helps the hook-and-loop function. This actually helps out a lot in the shop. Other brands come wrapped in plastic, and you have to find a container for them, or let them sit on a shelf and get full of sawdust. I appreciate this extra touch.

The paper stock is somewhat thin, but this does not really affect their use. Since they are stored in a box, they stay flat. Other brands, which are stored in bags, get curled up on the edges.

Bottom line: these are good quality sanding discs that last for a good amount of time, are a good value for the money, and are packaged in a convenient way.

Sub-Standard Sand Paper 2003-08-20
This sand paper leaves a lot to be desired. If you have a lot of sanding to do you had better purchase a lot of these sanding discs. In no time it seems they are all used up and aren't doing the job. I might have got these from a bad lot, but I think I will stick with Norton.

smooth 2003-05-22
lasted longer than most i've tried. I'm happy!

Don't run out! 2000-06-22
I like to get the boxes of sand paper so I don't run out. These match my Dewalt DW421 just like they are suppose to.

They line up easily and are easy to attach and detach later. But they stay put while in use.

Outstanding sand paper 2006-12-26
This brand of gold paper last far longer and clogs up far less then any I've ever used.
I have gone heads up with many people using a different brand and blew them away. After 10 min. of sanding poly the other brands were clumped up and were making scratches on the wood, mine still looked new!

Fantastic Sandpaper 2006-11-10
I now use this sand paper exclusively, when it gets too worn out for the RO sander, it gets tossed around the shop for years, It just lasts forever, albeit at the next hightest grit.

Excellent paper 2006-01-29
Mirka makes some of the best sand paper for these small orbital sanders. Buy with confidence. I have purchased all the different grits with the same satisfaction.

Great 2005-02-05
I bought these for my Dewalt orbital sander and they work great. I use them for bulding furniture and use my sander in tight spots that I probably shouldn't and they stick great, never fall out or get out of alignment. They last a long time.

These are a very good value! 2004-08-08
First of all I have to say that the reason why I happen to be writing this review is because I was on Amazon ordering another box of these sanding discs! There is no higher praise in my book than a return customer!

Now for the review: I have to agree with the other positive reviews and say that I have long been a fan of these Mirka sanding disks. I am a home woodworker whose projects range from DIY stuff around the house, to refinishing, to building fine furniture projects. I have been using these discs for years (in every grit from 80 to 220) and could not be more pleased with the smooth surfaces they produce with my rather inexpensive sander.

I completely agree with the assessment that although these are not the absolute best hook and loop discs on the market, they have performed every task I have asked of them. Overall, I would give this product an A- for quality/performance, and an A+ for value.
