The Mirka Abranet Ace 3-in. x 4-in. P600 grip mesh sanding sheet (model AC-129-600) is a dust-free net abrasive sold 50 sheets to a box. This is a hook and loop mesh sanding sheet designed for fine finish sanding of primers, sealers, lacquers, hardwood and solid surface material on 3 x 4-in. sanders and hand blocks. Mirka positions Abranet Ace for outstanding results on challenging surfaces, with hardwood and primer sanding called out by name.

Abranet is a net, not paper. Abrasive grain is bonded to an open mesh, so dust passes straight through the sheet into the pad and extractor. That keeps the sheet from loading, keeps the scratch pattern consistent and leaves a much cleaner work area. Ace uses an optimized net with ceramic grains, which is where its extra cut on hard materials comes from.

At P600 this sheet is a finishing grit. Use it to knock down nibs and dust in primer or sealer, to refine lacquer between coats, and to prep a surface before polishing or a final topcoat. Solid surface fabricators also run fine Ace grits to bring countertops up to an even finish, and Mirka notes Ace cuts fast on solid surface material.

Mirka lists Abranet Ace as suitable for hardwood including oak, ash, beech, birch, teak and mahogany, pine and resinous softwood, MDF and HDF, chipboard and melamine, plastics, glass fiber, body filler, plaster and filler, primer, UV primer, waterbased primer and sealer, AC lacquer and other lacquers, paint sanding and removal, steel, and solid surface brands such as Corian, Staron and HI-MACS.

Buy this if you run a 3 x 4-in. sander or hand block with extraction and want a finer, dust-free step for finish work. It is the same size and grip attachment as standard 3 x 4-in. Abranet, with ceramic grain for harder surfaces.

Fine Grit, Clean Shop

The Mirka Abranet Ace 3 x 4-in. P600 sheet is the finish-stage mesh for people who already know dust-free sanding is worth it.

• Who it's for: Finishers, cabinetmakers, solid surface fabricators and refinishers running 3 x 4-in. sanders with extraction.
• Why it stands out: Ceramic grain on an open net: sharper on hardwood and primer, and the dust leaves through the sheet.
• Worth knowing: P600 is a refining grit. It will not level or remove stock; work up to it from coarser grits.

• What is the difference between Abranet and Abranet Ace? Ace uses an optimized net with ceramic grains, aimed at harder surfaces like hardwood, primer and solid surface.
• Do I need to line up dust holes? No. The whole sheet is open mesh, so it extracts through any pad hole pattern.
