Sanding your wood projects is one of the drudge aspects of woodworking, so good sandpaper is a must. As a woodworker building custom furniture, I go through a lot of sanding disks. I decided to try these Mirka discs because I love shopping on Amazon, they seemed like a good deal, and reviews were favorable. They have proved to be excellent. They last, they cut effectively, and they simply are an all-around good deal. And contrary to one review, they stick to the pad just fine. I think he needs a new pad on his sander. I mentioned the discs to my wife, and she was amazed that I would get so excited by something as "stupid" as a sanding disc. She just doesn't understand.

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.

The reviews said the Mirka discs lasted a long time. They would if I could get them to stay on the sander. I have used many different brands of discs and have never had this problem before. The velcro on the back seems to be very thin and seems to stay on the sander about 15 to 20 min. If you take one off to change grit, it won't stay on at all if you try to use it again. Bad product.

These discs are well constructed. The paper backing is the thickest that I have seen and they don't seem to wear out as fast as other discs. I had to wait a month to get them though.

I am working on a wood kayak from CLC boats. I ordered this paper before in 5 different grits from 80 to 320. It is working fine and doing a good job on material removal when used with a Bosch Random Orbital sander. I don't what 5 star sandpaper would do that this doesn't. I haven't had any problems with the grit coming of the paper early. Using it for fiberglass epoxy is working well. I have had a bit of paper loading but I think it is due to the epoxy not the paper. I would reccomend the paper and am back buying another box of 80 and 120 grits.

I've used this Mirka sand paper for several years now and I can say it's the best I've used to date and I've been a professional woodworker for many years. It holds up to a lot of usage with very little wear. It doesn't clog either like many of the papers I've used in the past, so I'm highly recommending this sand paper.

This does what it's supposed to and does it well. I use on my Bosch sander and it sticks good and gives me good usage. They use good sand particles that adhere well and enough of them so it wears well, (you may not go through as many as other brands) the velcro holds properly and the holes line up perfect.

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.

Now THIS is sandpaper! I bought several grits and used them on different woods and projects. Talk about FAST cutting and clean! Trust me,once you use this stuff you'll never waste money buying three sheets of domestic stuff for $5. Look at how many sheets of this stuff you get for the price. And it easily lasts three times as long as the hardware store stuff does.
Try it. You'll stock up on it, just like I did. Great product.

This is the best brand of sanding discs I have found. They clog less and last much longer than other brands I have tried.
