Perfect - rough as can be [Posted on 2003-05-21]
This is excellent stuff for those *really* tough jobs where you'd start thinking about getting a planer or similar "big" guns. Used this on my Makita orbital sander (which it fits just fine, in spite of the missing listing in the specs), and it stands up to punishment. Worked over a couple of 6x6 pressure treated beams and could get a reasonably nice finish pretty fast. These disks last surprisingly long, considering the work they perform. Also tried to use this to sand down a rusty old steel bulkhead coated with enamel, but the 60 grit doesn't cut it - you'll still need a steel brush head and lots of elbow grease for that kind of work.

Good Quality, Excellent Value [Posted on 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.

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've used them on a variety of wood surfaces, and I have used them to remove paint, and they last long enough to take down a lot of material. 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.

I HAVE PURCHASED MOST OF ALL YHE MIRKA H&L 5'' 8 HOLE SANDPAPER
AND FIND IT TO BE WORTH EVERY BIT OF YOUR MONEY SPENT.I AM AMAZED
AT THE QUALITY OF THIS PRODUCT.I LIKE THE PACKAGING ON THIS
PRODUCT .THE DURABILITY AND TO WITH STAND PUSNISMENT IS #1

if you own a hand sander you will want to pay attention to this item !!! [Posted on 2007-05-12]
PERFORMANCE: quick change but yet maintains tight grip to sander pad. aggressive cut makes this abrasive a premium sanding disk, in spite of the budget price. cuts hardwoods and softwoods with equal vigor. a good abrasive disk cuts well with light pressure, let the sander/abrasive do the work, you should not have to apply pressure to get it to remove material if you are using a fresh abrasive. these disks have a long abrasive cut life. I would love to do a material removal and abrasive life of all the 5 and 8 hole disks on the market.

PRICE: forget buying packs of 6 to 10 disks at Lowes or Home Depot, its a ripoff if you do any quantity of production work. Yet these home improvement stores who bill themselves as contractor suppliers do not sell abrasive disks in packs of 50 ??? These high quality disks match the best you can buy, but the over the counter brands sold at your local home improvement store can't come close to matching this price. don't waste your money on inferior budget priced sanding disks either,(the super cheapies made in China) they don't cut well, abrasive breaks down rapidly and they have a low cut life.

Great Value [Posted on 2007-09-11]
I took a chance and tried this product. I was pleasantly surprised at how long they lasted, comparable to the much more expensive brands.
