I have a PC random orbital sander and it's time to replenish inventory on disks.
(5" 5 hole) For quite a while I've gotten my disks from Klingspor (sterate), made in Germany. I've been pretty happy with them.

But it's always good to shop around. I've been looking at Mirka Gold from SuperGrit. Anyone used these and can you provide a one or two line review?

I've also been thinking about Norton's, but they're about 2X costlier.

I considered ShopSmith but I can only find 5" 8 hole. I think I'll give them a whirl for my belt sander.

Any other recommendations???

Many thanks!

Berry,

I don't have a lot of time using yet, but am trying Abranet mesh sanding discs. So far, they seem good and last better than mid-quality discs.

I go to amazon and get the mirka gold disks in 50 packs for my pc sander. That seems to be working out well for me, good utility vs price. At this point I'm happy and see no reason to not keep buying/using them.
