Mirka Galaxy 5-in. 60 Grit Hook and Loop Sanding Discs, 50-Pack, No-Hole Ceramic Abrasive for Random Orbital Sanders (FY-612-060)
Key Features
Overview
Mirka Galaxy 5-Inch 60 Grit Sanding Discs are ceramic hook and loop sanding discs built for fast surface prep and steady material removal across multiple materials. This is a sanding disc designed for power sanding on random orbital sanders. Model Number: FY-612-060. If you need an aggressive grit for stripping, shaping, or heavy prep work, this 60-grit disc is the kind of abrasive that gets to work quickly without giving up consistency halfway through the job.
What matters here is the abrasive itself. Mirka uses a ceramic grain that keeps exposing fresh cutting edges as the disc wears, so the cut stays more consistent over longer sanding sessions. In plain terms, you spend less time leaning on the sander trying to make a tired disc do more than it has left. That is especially useful when you are working through paint, primer, filler, epoxy, or metal where cheap discs tend to load up and slow down fast.
The anti-clogging coating is another big part of why these discs make sense for finish prep and repair work. When sanding coatings and fillers, buildup is what usually kills performance first. Reducing that buildup helps the disc keep cutting cleaner and helps you avoid the stop-and-start rhythm that drags a job out. For bodywork, refinishing, and general shop prep, that is a real advantage.
The no-hole design keeps things simple. Because there are no dust extraction holes to line up, you get full abrasive coverage across the face of the disc and quick attachment to compatible 5-inch hook and loop sanders. That makes these especially convenient when you are changing discs often or moving between different sanding steps. They are listed as compatible with random orbital sanders, including the Mirka DEROS 550X CV.
These Mirka Galaxy 5-Inch 60 Grit Sanding Discs are a strong fit for painters, body shop techs, woodworkers, finish carpenters, and serious DIY users who want one abrasive that can handle mixed-material prep. They are not for fine finish sanding. They are for the stage where you need to remove material, level a surface, strip a coating, or get a substrate ready for the next step.

Pro Tip
Use these 60-grit discs for stripping and leveling, then step down through finer grits instead of trying to make one disc do the whole job. You will get better surface consistency and waste fewer discs, especially on paint, filler, and epoxy.
