whats your abrasive choice?

[steveo3002]

just decided to try some abranet , slightly on the expensive side but yeah cuts and lasts really well

what brands do you use ?

 

[Ruffian]

Mirka, rhino, 3m,
All cost that bit extra but find they last so much longer

 

[ajlelectronics]

It is Abranet every time for me.

 

[fizzy]

Is this for sandblasting?

 

[MattF]

Sandpaper type abrasives.

 

[Islander71]

Hermes and SIA are both good.

In my limited amateur experience I have found that whilst cheap knock off tools can be quite good, cheap knock off consumables usually aren't. Whether it's Dremmel discs or sanding discs I've nearly always found that branded ones last longer and are more robust. Abranet and Mirka are the ones I've been using more recently.

For fast metal removal I do like the cubitron fibre discs.

Recently bought a Mirka Deos and Delta. Abranet are really good with them. As said, don't scrimp on the abrasives, they really do make a difference.
