Sanding Tips including 3M Xtract™ 710W Sanding Discs

Recently there have been major advancements in wood sanding techniques and products to help us achieve better woodwork results and at the same time, cutting down on dust in our workshops. Recently 3M introduced their 3M Xtract™ Cubitron™ II Net Disc 710W which is a new sanding net disc for random orbital sanders, released by @3MAbrasives. It delivers excellent sanding results while helping to achieve reduction of airborne dust by up to 99%. It's available in popular and most common abrasive sizes of 80, 120, 150, 180, 220, 240 and 320 grit, in to meet your application needs, making it suitable for all natural woods and manufactured wood products. Plus, the 3M Xtract™ Net Disc 710W discs even work on metals. The standard hook and loop design makes these discs easy to install and swap out, and the 3M-designed Precision-Shaped Grain provides a fast cut-rate and a long-lasting grit that helps contribute to quality and more economical sanding. Prove it to yourself on your next project..

Love the exhaust bag solution for the shop vac. Solves my problem of blowing sawdust and other junk around my shop while I'm working or cleaning up.

Another sandpaper cleaning tip that worked really well, is to use mineral spirits on a sponge to get rid of sappy dust build-up on the paper.

Just the fact that I don't have to spend 20 seconds lining up the holes on the sandpaper with the holes on my sander makes it seem like this would be amazing.

should you run a interface pad on the 3m xtract to protect the pad?

Any thoughts about older palm sanders? What is the downside compared to the orbital? I assume related to sanding marks and efficiency?
