• Durable aluminum oxide 220 grit

• High-strength resin bond system

• Increased life, made with anti-load stearate

• Hook-and-loop design; can also be used with a standard pad with no punched holes

• Affordable at 50 per box

These Mirka hook-and-loop sanding discs come on a B weight backing, and feature a special sharp, durable aluminum oxide grain that gives you a fast and exceptionally long-lasting cut. Their aluminum oxide coating is combined with urea resin over glue bonds, with a dustless open coat design to keep them from clogging

The 220-grit discs do a great job leaving a silky finish on wood. I use them on cutting boards and table tops, and when you're done sanding with the 220-grit, you are ready for applying finish.

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 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.

These are a very good value!  Aug 08, 2004 By Scott Pointon "Former Marine, Librarian, Woodworker, Homebrewer"
First of all I have to say that the reason why I happen to be writing this review is because I was on Amazon ordering another box of these sanding discs! There is no higher praise in my book than a return customer!

Now for the review: I have to agree with the other positive reviews and say that I have long been a fan of these Mirka sanding disks. I am a home woodworker whose projects range from DIY stuff around the house, to refinishing, to building fine furniture projects. I have been using these discs for years (in every grit from 80 to 220) and could not be more pleased with the smooth surfaces they produce with my rather inexpensive sander.

I completely agree with the assessment that although these are not the absolute best hook and loop discs on the market, they have performed every task I have asked of them. Overall, I would give this product an A- for quality/performance, and an A+ for value.

A great preliminary step for a great finish  Mar 17, 2012 By Steve
In the surface finishing process, I use the 23-615-220 as a preliminary smooth finishing step that removes the majority of surface blemishes. I complete the process using the Mirka 320 grit and perhaps some 00 or 000 steel wool.
This "step process" provides for a great base for coatings such as oil or urethane.

Don't run out!  Jun 22, 2000 By Wayne Cease
I like to get the boxes of sand paper so I don't run out. These match my Dewalt DW421 just like they are suppose to.

They line up easily and are easy to attach and detach later. But they stay put while in use.


Great value  Feb 29, 2012 By Ronald Kociba "Ron"
These are high quality sanding discs that perform just as they should, and are of same quality as the OEM DeWalt ones I had been using. The only difference is , these are a much better price .
