3M Xtract Cubitron II Net Disc 710W, 150+, 3 in, Die 300V, Pack of 50 Hook and Loop Sanding Discs, Virtually Dust-Free, Premium Option for Metal, Wood, Composites, Stock Removal, and Fine Finishing

I've been using these 3M Xtract Cubitron II net discs for various workshop projects, and they're genuinely impressive bits of kit - though you do pay for the quality. The net design is brilliant for dust extraction. If you've got a proper vacuum setup, these work an absolute treat - minimal clogging, and they last considerably longer than standard paper discs. The Cubitron II abrasive cuts aggressively and consistently, which means you're not standing there for ages working through grits. The multi-pack with various grits (80+ through to 320+) is handy - covers you from initial stock removal right through to finer finishing work. The 127mm size fits most random orbital sanders without any bother. Hook and loop backing holds securely, and the discs don't tear or fall apart even when you're working them fairly hard. Now, the elephant in the room: the price. These aren't cheap. You're paying 3M premium prices, and if you're just doing occasional DIY or hobby work, you might find cheaper alternatives perfectly adequate. But if you're doing regular sanding work and want discs that cut efficiently and last, these justify the cost through performance and longevity. They're particularly good on wood and painted surfaces. Less experience with them on metal, but for woodworking they're top-notch. If you've got the budget and do serious amounts of sanding, these are worth it. For occasional use, might be overkill. Recommended for professionals and serious hobbyists.

I've been using these for a mixture of jobs such as sanding skirting boards, prepping walls for plastering and also smoothing out applications of ready mix plaster on walls. They seem like good quality, long lasting and I'd prefer to pay the extra for the quality. I use them on a pad saver on a random orbital sander with a vacuum and this works well. All in all, I'd say they're good value for money and the performance is good!

Bought these after seeing a YouTube video on woodworking and thought I'd give them a go. The difference between these and the usual pads is night and day and i was amazed! They're just on a completely different level and I'll never buy standard pads again. If you want sanding pads that do an amazing job, last so many times longer, don't get hot, just buy these!!

Firstly, these are brilliant sanders. the 120 grit cuts quicker and much better than an 80 grit of generic sandpaper. However, they didn't last long for me. Although I was using them on an awkward project which included chipboard smoothing corners. I burnt through x2 120grits on 2sqm of chip board, not going hard just trying to take the roughness out of it. When smoothing edges of 18mm ply I could see the purple sanding pieces flying off the paper. I was using a 125mm draper orbital. In hindsight, I should have bought a big pack of 120g to do the entire project.

Absolutely unbelievable how much time these things save compared to cheap sanding discs. Genuinely takes half the time when compared to cheaper sanding discs and also last twice as long to honestly better value. I will never buy anything else for sanding. Seriously dont waste your time on anything else.

Cubitron is the best sandpaper in my opinion. It lasts longer whilst cutting quickly without clogging and leaves a nice finish. Definitely worth the extra over the cheap and cheerful stuff

are excellent and not a bad price just wish also had 6 inch version in but theses will do and are the best at finish sanding used so far.

After many years of buying cheaper sanding disks, I took the plunge recently and bought these. What a revelation! They are so efficient that it is easy to over-sand. They have excellent longevity and allow very efficient extraction of the dust. I will not be going back to cheaper alternatives.

Deja muy buen acabado al lijar , y permite excelente extracción del polvo. Lo unico malo es que yo compre 5” y recibi 6”. Tengo que recortar cada disco que use.

Väldigt bra slippapper om man tidigare använt billigare nobrand ark. Håller betydligt längre

Was using Bosch disc before tried this. Amazed how effective was the discs and the holes helps extracts the dust off quickly into the dust bag.

muy recomendables .

These sanding discs are a real game-changer, but here's a pro tip: make sure to invest in an intermediate pad for your sander to get the most out of them. Without it, you risk burning through your sander's pad, and those replacements don't come cheap. Trust me; I've learned from experience. The sandpaper itself is outstanding, easily lasting 1.25 to 1.5 times longer than regular granite sandpaper from Festool. And the dust extraction? Well, it's on a whole new level of amazing. However, be aware that they can clog up quickly if you're dealing with wet glue. Whether you're a seasoned pro or a weekend warrior, these sanding discs will elevate your work quality and make sanding a breeze. In my book, they deserve a solid five-star rating. It's an investment that's absolutely worth it. And remember, slap it on the tool and then stick the sanding disk to it. The intermediate pad is a smart move to preserve your Festool hook/loop, keeping it sticky and in top shape. It's all about the details,
