I just bought my first ROS, an essentially brand new DeWalt for $25 at a pawn
shop. I need some discs and saw these at Home Depot. Has anyone tried them?

They look like a copy of the Abernet? Fragile is how I would describe
them. 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. I use it exclusively now. 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. ;~)
