Check out this Diablo SandNet hack. We review them too.

Diablo SandNet sanding discs are so well designed they’re good for doing other things. True story. Also, they’re terrific for, you know, sanding.

In a moment of jobsite genius, it was SandNet to the rescue. While repairing the porthole window in the background, a piece fell down that gap between the wall and the cabinet. Well, it was the kind of thing that’d get jammed in the vac hose. How to get it?

Solution: SandNet. Taped to a vac hose, the disc let air pass but not the piece. In no time, work was moving forward.

As for use sanding, I used them on a white pine woodworking project and they performed better than any discs I’ve ever used. They run pretty much clog-free as claimed and leave a fine powder o the work. Awesome all the way. The aluminum oxide coating is durable. I think they might last as long as blades.

No need to line up holes that never all line up for dust collection. The entire SandNet is holes. Aluminum oxide coated, wood-smoothing holes of awesomeness. You do need to put a pad on your sander’s hook and loop. It sticks to the sander and the Net sticks to the pad. It came in the package I received.

If you’re doing typical sanding for remodeling, like cleaning up imperfections or wood filler installing a shiplap wall these discs might just last forever.

Knowing it would take me five years to gum up a SandNet with pine—and they left an awesome finish on that pine—I tried an old door. If there’s anything that’ll gum a sanding disc its paint.

Not only was I wrong about this application, how quickly the Diablo discs got this old finish clean and smooth made me almost want to save the door. Almost. I don’t think there’s any amount of sanding I’d be willing to do to this to get back to bare wood, but to prep the finish for new paint…oh yeah.

SandNet—all awesome all the time.
