3M Xtract Net Disc 710W, 120+, 5 in, Die 500X, Pack of 50 Hook and Loop Sanding Discs, Virtually Dust-Free, Premium Option for Metal, Wood, Composites, Stock Removal, and Fine Finishing

I couldn't be happier or more impressed. I had tried the Fr*ud/D*ablo nets (probably a decade or more ago) but they were a miserable disaster and total waste of money, so my expectations were pretty low concerning these nets from 3M. Well, these net discs are fantastic; I'll never go back to regular paper/cloth-backed discs again. No more useless clogged discs, no more 12K RPM disc projectiles, no more 5-minute gritless discs, this is a really superior product for an excellent price. When sanding over numerous pine knots in several grits, there is zero resin loading on the disc. The durability of these discs and the grit retention is insanely good, regular discs can't even begin to compare. What's crazy is that these net discs are similar in price to average, and below average, regular AO discs. You can't lose. It doesn't occur often but, in this instance, performance exceeds cost. Good job 3M. I have soft density interface pads on all my H&L sanders. Adding that sponge cushion buffer to your backing pad makes the work so much easier and they add life to the primary pad. Sanding contours or rolling edges is so much smoother. With these discs on buffer pads, you can do anything and do it well. After 50+ years of woodworking I'm pretty depressed that I didn't give these 3M nets a shot years ago.

I started using these after the rave reviews on YouTube from several builders channels. The abrasive cuts well and lasts a long time. The mesh backing sticks well, needs no fussy alignment , and permits excellent dust extraction (with vacuum attached to sander). Although more expensive to purchase they outlast conventional sanding discs enough that I’m convinced they are actually cheaper in the long run. I am using the 80 and 120 grit exclusively now and will use the 180 and 220 as soon as my supplies of old style discs is used up.

Best discs I've every used.

I love this sand paper. I would recommend getting more than you would think and also getting a loop saver. the common complaints are they wear out quickly and it messes up your sanders loops. This is true but it' because it's a net material. The actual grit lasts forever and the loops wear out again because it's a net and they come through. Knowing that before hand, the performance of these are fantastic and the best discs I've ever used. Won't use anything else again. Also use a dust extractor or shop vac for the best performance.

Great for quickly sanding plywood faces. Not good for edge sanding as the disc breaks down quickly if sanding sharp edges. Generates very fine dust, best to use with some type of dust collection.

I've got about 10 hours now using these disks (in 120 and 180) and I'll never go back to paper disks. Yes, they cost around 2 times more than the name brand disks that I've been using (mostly Norton and Diablo), but they last 3-4 times longer, so I'm actually saving money. They also sand better (smoother) and collect dust better (when sander hooked up to a shop-vac). The only downside that I've run into is edge fraying. These aren't good for sanding into corners. They're great for flat surfaces, but if you're hitting corners/edges, then the edges of the disk will fray. It doesn't really affect the function of the disk, but just something to know.

I'm an amateur woodworker with way too many tools for my skill level but I do like good stuff. I've tried a ton of different sandpapers on my Makita 18v random orbital sander and by a magnitude or order, these are the best I've used. I bought a box of the 120 grit and have never used a paper on my sander that was as aggressive as these are. They are legit, but... as tough as these are, it will take a long time to use them all. If you are a weekend warrior, I would look for the assortment pack. There is no need for a whole box of one grit. Had I known how effective these were, I wouldn't have gotten a 50 pack. I saw an assortment that included 2-each of several grits but I thought 2 of each would be too little. It would have been a smarter purchase. From there I could have decided which grits I would go through and order accordingly. Fortunately I have a competitor's paper that I can use to do final finishing. One thing of note... these 120 grit discs bite hard and my best luck in controlling the sander has been with a supplemental hook & loop pad on the original hook & loop pad. The extra cushion helps keep the sander from deciding on its own where it wants to be.

this is probably the best sandpaper i've ever used. no swirls left from stuff clogging the grit, it paired very well with my vaccum on the sander (thats to say it didnt leave anything left on the sandpaper), unlike the diablo sandner stuff i was using before. (dont buy that trash). it held up really well to sanding on this walnut end table i made, with only one disc, whereas with the diablo stuff i went through probably about 1 or 2 per 2 square feet of proper sanding and still ended up with grit swirls due to it crumbling apart while sanding. PROS: very high quality vents through the mesh very well to clear almost any and all dust out grit doesn't get caught on itself and create swirl marks like with some other brands CONS: rather pricey, i've seen it on other sites for a good bit cheaper, but the shipping on those sites is also absurd (we're talking 20 dollars for basic ground shipping), so you're probably spending the same regardless poorly designed box. would recommend having a separate sandpaper box to transfer all of it into once you open it

Deja muy buen acabado al lijar , y permite excelente extracción del polvo. Lo unico malo es que yo compre 5” y recibi 6”. Tengo que recortar cada disco que use.

I have always purchased the 100 or 200 sanding disc packages for 20 or 30 dollars and never had any success as they wore out quickly and never removed much even when pushing hard on the tool. I finally read a report about 3M sanding products and tried them. They work fantastic. They are slightly more expensive but they really do the job they were intended for. Not only do they remove material without forcing your sander into the wood but when you take the disc off, just blow it off with air and its ready to use again. very impressed.

Excelente...

The Cubitron line of sanding discs from 3M are the best available, without a doubt. The surface has a uniform coating of grit, with no lumpiness or gaps. They are highly durable, lasting at least 3 times longer in my random orbital sander than the "economy" brand that I previously used. The grit seems to have sharper edges, so the discs do a much better job of surfacing than plain sand. The results are uniform at any grit, faster, and smoother. I cannot recommend these enough!

Seems to hold up well good life
