I bought these for my dad but have injoyed Mirka sanding disks for years.Remodling contractor, Pete
That is $80. There is no standardization. The Mirkas were available both at Amazon and my local woodworking tool store, they fit my new Bosch 3727DVS (see review) and so I bought them.How long they last depends on wise use. I used to have sanders that required glue to attach the disks. Something like that will make your dreaded sanding routines much better.Also, the vac not only cuts down on the dust almost completely (and it turns out that dust is very dangerous), but it sucks the sander down to the surface and that makes it easy to use.All this costs a lot of money, of course. However, starting with 50 and working up saves time and makes the disks last much longer. Also, because the disks are so easy to change, you will be more likely to use the correct ones and this extends their life, makes for easier sanding, etc.When you order disks, be sure you get the right ones.
Go out to the garage and double-check.Make use of the vacuum system. I think most people will need 50, 100, 220 and 320. There are different diameters and different numbers and configurations of holes for the vacuum function. Also, that progression creates very good results; flat, smooth and swirl-free (or very little).The hook and loop design is great. This is soooo much better. I use a Fein with auto-start and the long 1.25 hose. But, if you do a fair amount of wood work, there is no better or more pleasant way to get that sanding done.I knocked off a star because I think they are expensive.
Holds up longer than the home center variety. Works great on my Bosch 6".
