Cubitron Xtract Net Disc 710W, 150+, 5 in, Die 500X, Pack of 50 Hook and Loop Sanding Discs, Virtually Dust-Free, Premium Option for Metal, Wood, Composites, Stock Removal, and Fine Finishing

3M Xtract Cubitron II Net Disc 710W, 150+I do a fair amount of woodworking and bought these based on a YouTube review.Pros: +No holes to line up with the sander. The discs have multiple places that allow airflow into the sander. +Long life! When sanding bare wood, the discs last about 1.5x to 2x as long as standard sanding discs +Hook and Loop backing sticks very well to sander +Cool purple color.Cons: -A bit more expensive than regular sanding discs -MUCH worse dust collection. With standard "hole" discs, I get almost no dust when my sander is connected to my dust collector. With these discs, there is a fair amount of dust that escapes. -Clog about the same as regular discs when sanding off finishes, glues, etc. - Discs wear VERY quickly when sanding edges. I often use my sander to round off sharp edges on table legs and other exposed areas. This is not normally a problem for standard discs, but with these pads, the edges seemed to quickly knock the abrasive off the backing.Overall, I like these sanding disks and will be adding them to my shop inventory. They have just enough cons to keep them from replacing my standard sanding discs though.

These pads maintain their "tooth" far longer than other bonded abrasives I've used. The open mesh design seems to aid in dust extraction, allowing a better contact between the work surface and the abrasive. These are worth any extra cost.

YouTube reviewers talked me into these. They're more expensive upfront than the normal stuff, but they sure are worth it.

Best sandpaper we’ve found

Sand well, works better the ones that have holes punched in them. Because they keep from getting buildup they last longer as well. I use them with a 5” DeWalt orbital sander
