Mirka 23-615-060 5" Bulldog Gold 8-Hole 60 Grit Grip (Hook and Loop) Sanding Discs - Gold is designed for finishing and heavy stock removal. The durable aluminum oxide grain delivers a fast, exceptionally long lasting cut. Proprietary backing is stronger than other competitive brands using traditional backing. High strength resin bonding for superior grain support. A special stearate coating is used to maximize resistance to clogging and loading. A uniform, semi open coat design produces an even, consistent scratch pattern.

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.

Perfect - rough as can be  May 21, 2003 By L. Blackmore
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.

sanding houselogs  Mar 28, 2011 By Allen
These discs work well sanding houselogs which have darkened with time. They leave some swril marks upon close observation but a quick go over with 100 grit would leave them quite smooth and looking good.

Great 60 grit sandpaper  Aug 03, 2001
I recently bought the Mirka 5" 8 hole H&L sandpaper. I had used several other brands and was not happy with the staying power of the grit. Mirka seems to have built a product that cuts better and lasts longer than anything else that I have purchased. Well worth the money and in fact by buying a box of 50 I paid much less than than I had been paying for the lesser quality pieces.


Excellent product  Apr 13, 2012 By Guy Stryder
I was skeptical but for the price, thought I'd give it a try. And I'm very glad I did. At about 1/3 the price of the over-the-counter 5-packs, which is good in and of itself, these sanding discs have also proven themselves to last about 3 times as long as the Bosch brand. Very impressed!
