I just bought my first ROS, an essentially brand new DeWalt for $25 at

shop. I need some discs and saw these at Home Depot. Has anyone tried
them?

Pros? Cons?


They look like a copy of the Abernet?Â* Fragile is how I would describe
them.Â* They work well but tear easily if not kept in a flat surface,
going over an edge can cause them to rip.

If you are looking for long lasting, you might try Festool Granat sand
paper.Â* I use it exclusively now.Â* It lasts a very very long time.



I will add that with any paper or abrasive, using vacuum dust collection
on the sander will extend the life of the abrasive, and you. ;~)
