Hi all

Just chasing any brand/product recommendations for good quality 5 inch sanding discs?

Cheers

There are two Forum sponsors: The Sandpaper Man and Smith and Arrow. I have only used the latter with whom I have been very pleased and have a wide range.

If you have dust extraction on your ROS mesh discs are well worth the extra expense. You'd never regret it. :2tsup:

Mirka Ace ceramic, Diablo mesh disks are pretty good. Sia mesh are good as well but I don’t think they do 125mm same with Norton Blaze disks, excellent product but they don’t do 125mm

[mature one]

what he said Mirka have available sanding pads and they will mix grits if you ask.

Dang...at that price is doesn't even matter if they're garbage :p

[homey]

Call me quirky, but I don’t find the cost of sandpaper so high that I will buy it offshore just to save a little. I’ll stick with supporting local suppliers - and particularly sponsors of this forum.

As an aside, I find it sad that almost every eBay ad I see brandishing an Australian flag is in fact a seller from Asia.

As my old Dad used to say “Days of wine an’ roses gorn forevver, son”.

Homey, wandering off in the distance to the strains of “Things ain’t what the used to be”........

Till your using a 240 grit disk with a rouge 80 grit particle in it.

An excellent comparison. I’m primarily using Festool and Mirka machines I find the Abranet Ace ceramic disks are faster and last longer. I note they were not included in the test.

Jonathan Katz-Moses (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Q2VgobeZce0) also does a comparison which includes some ceramic discs.
