Designed with POWERGRID™ Tear Resistant Mesh, these discs last up to 12 times longer than standard sandpaper, making them a smart solution for professionals who need durability and efficiency. The open weave mesh design helps prevent clogging, allowing for smoother finishes and less downtime spent swapping out worn or gummed-up discs. Whether you’re sanding wood, metal, or plastic, the sharp aluminum oxide grain provides fast material removal and reliable surface prep. A durable nylon backing resists tearing around corners and edges, and each disc is reusable and easy to clean—just shake, vacuum, blow off, or rinse.

This 12-pack includes a mix of 80, 120, and 180 grit discs, making it ideal for progressing through rough removal to finer surface prep. Milwaukee’s hook and loop system makes changing grits fast and secure, while the included pad saver helps protect your sanding pad from wear, extending its life along with the discs. These discs are designed for use with any standard 3” sanding tool and offer a dependable sanding solution across multiple materials and job types.
