When I first bought my Bosch 3727DVS, I bought a box of the popular grades; 80, 100, 120, 150, 180, 220, and 320. The 100, 120, and 150 are the most frequently used.To tell you the truth, I rarely use the 320. I just went through over 50 boards of 80+ inch cedar, in three grades, and I only used about 10 sheets all combined. That is about 3 for each grade. The advantage to quality paper, is that you can get in a groove with some consistency. Instead of having cheaper paper that gives you the new disc agressiveness, then quickly to the used paper smoothness, which may be a grade finer, and miss the deeper lines from the coarser grade of paper in the previous step. Additionally the backing paper is stiff enough to do the job. That way you don't wind up with a buggered edge on your sander. The 6 or 8 hole paper is nice for the dust free environment. I simply attach a 2 1/2" vac hose to the dust port on my Bosch, which is way smaller than that, so a lot of air escapes. The vacuum draw that leaks around the inlet, sucks up that last 1% of the dust coming off the paper. It is still recommended to wear a mask because the shop vacs only capture to a micron or so. So technically you have a vac system that is actually a mini-part of a micron, invisible dust manufacturing plant. Over time, even that is a consideration. A good respirator, not a paper mask is advisable. A fresh air system is even better.
I had a body shop for 20 years, and after using the cheaper paper on the random orbit sanders, and winding up with a floor full of used paper, I can attest to the savings of using quality, aluminum oxide paper. It is actually cheaper, in addition to doing a better job. Highly recommended.

I have been using these discs for years.I really like the diapenser pack box. It keeps them in until you pull one out. The paper cut very well and lasts reasonably long. Better can be had but you'll spend a lot more for them. Use these until they lose their edge and slap a new one on. If your time is worth money you will save by throwing a worn pad away instead of trying to wring the last bit of life out of it. As another reviewer already said, with these you can afford to throw them away. I plan on ordering more pretty soon in several grits.

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.

100 grit is about as rough as I like to go with a ROS. And that's usually just for some light rounding.

This isn't cheap Asian garbage where the abrasive starts sprinkling off the pad as soon as you turn on your sander.

Western European made, in Finland.

This quality for this price beats the Canadian stuff and is as good or better than the best American made sanding discs.

I have been using multiple grits of this sanding disk by Mirka on my wood working projects. It is very easy to apply with the Hook & Loop feature and has performed well. It does not leave circular scratches and is best used climbing through the grits. I have used between 80-grit to 220 grit and each disk delivers as advertised. I would not recommend using this for sanding wood that has any hardened glue or other finish since it will reduce the life of the paper however this is common for most sand papers. I plan to continue using this product on my orbital sander since it performs well at a fair cost.

I used these disks in a God awful job of refinishing my teak furnture. They lasted longer and had a better bite than some others. They still had the ability to clog up but still resulted in a longer life which means less expensive by the piece. Good product.

I use these on a cheap orbital sander and they are perfect. They last a long time and when the edges are worn, I cut them to fit my triangle detail sander. They work great there too.

These were purchased for my Bosch orbital sander. They work great, especially if one remembers to start and stop the sander when it is on the wood. Otherwise it could come flying off after some use; but when used diligently as directed, works great. So much better than anything I found at the Big Box stores, who never really have a wide selection of anything decent.

I just finished a 700 sq. ft. tongue 'n groove ceiling project, and used multiple boxes/grits of the Mirka product. Much cheaper than the typical DIY home store pricing, and if you have a large project like I did, you'll save big bucks. These are high quality disks that get the job done.

This is my third box of this stuff, and I don't see any reason to buy anything else. I have used a few brands of discs. most are OK. this is as good as any, and better then most. paper is nice and thick and holds up well. the stuff stays sharp. There are better brands, but they tend to be about 75 cents a sheet. This stuff also beats the pants off the crud you get at HD too
