3M Xtract Net Disc 310W, 80+, 5 in x NH, Die 500X, 50/Inner

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.

These 310w are excellent quality at a great price. Does the work and saves me money in my cabinet shop.

No dust build up on disc. Sands fast. Seems like it gives my DeWalt orbital sander more power

I have been using the more expensive Mirka Abranet for several years but gave this brand a try due to the less expensive price. I have been very surprised by the great finish I’m getting with these 3M discs, and they’re almost as durable as the Mirka Abranet. I think I’ll be buying these from now on.

these discs work as expected.

Normally this brand is excellent. I saw the low price on the box of 50. So I bought it thinking what a good deal. However, these are not as good as other 3M 5 inch orbital sandpaper that I have used. These are wearing out fast and absolutely cannot handle anything but flat surfaces. If I use them to sand around a corner or pretty much anywhere that isnt flat then they are instantly ruined. I hate to do this but I don’t recommend them.

3M never disappoints

Good price, dust does not build up with dust collection
