Never used Klingspor here. Always used the OEM Festool and Serious Grit, and recently stuff from Maverick. These are infinity better. But they should since they are a ceramic coated abrasive instead of the usual zirconia or oxide. But where they blow me away is they are like abranet in the sense as instead of a paper or cloth backing, its like window screen. Then there is a pattern of the coating so there is zero clogging at all.

Are they the 3M [font="Amazon Ember", Arial, sans-serif]Cubitron II Net Disc 710W.  amazon[/font]
Amazon had a pack of 50 of the 120 grit 5" for about $25 , though from what you say, 50 would last several lifetimes

I'm in good shape at the moment, and the Extract aren't widely distributed (yet), but once my stah of Klingspor wears down a little I intend to switch to the Extract. I caught this video on another forum and it convinced me.
I started with absolutely nothing. Now, thanks to years of hard work, careful planning, and perseverance, I find I still have most of it left.

I agree these disks are amazing!

Watch the test/review video by Jonathan Katz-Moses linked to above. He tested 19 different disks using a sanding robot and this one was best by a mile! It may be fair to say this disk cannot be compared to ANY other brand....it is that good. It removes more material faster and lasts longer than any other disk he tested. Oh, and they are NOT expensive. From the link I have below a pack of 10 of any grit is $5.99.

They can bought in 10, 20, 50 or 100 (all one grit) from:

I have no affiliation with the above site other than being a customer.

Can I assume I can use this on a 8 hole sander and still get some type of dust collection?
