You each have different techniques. One guy uses 2 hands and the other uses 1. Pressure makes a difference. To do a more accurate test you should have put the same amount of weight on each. Also battery life should be an indicator of the amount of drag on the motor and amount of work done.
As mentioned, I think different techniques/hand pressure/speed of user will unfortunately yield vastly different results regardless of product. Many tests have been done, even with robotics, and the 3M seems to come out on top with Norton a close second. Its a really difficult test to do evenly but this is a pretty good realworld test👍 thanks for the vid!
So I think the amazon stuff you used in this video would be better compared to the blue 3M sandpaper. You can get a 50 pack of 80 grit for $42, and the Amazon stuff for a 50 count of 80 grit is only $39.99. I'd probably just stick with 3M but would be open to comparing this Amazon brand to the blue 3M paper we use at work. I do body work for a living, and it's a name you can trust but products change and get better. But it's an interesting video, for sure.
There is a difference from grit material to base material. Zirc (usually blue) is a nice balance for price, works well on softer and harder stuff. Ceramic (cubitron) works better on hard stuff, i think. Alm oxide is supposed to be well suited to soft best. Net paper seems to perform well on soft stuff, where more material is removed per stroke. I use cubitron full coverage, more grit per sq/in. I tend do more metal. Mesh seems better suited to wood, drywall.
Not a fair test …… splitter on the dust extractor brings down suction which will effect the life of the paper and cooling of the pad …. Heat will affect life of paper and clogging especially in woodworking .
Bad test. The 3m claim is more that it lasts longer, but you both pulled the paper before you wore it out. There are already other videos doing way better tests. This video wasted my time.
We were both noticing degradation in both papers. Different shops will treat the length of use of paper in different manners. Shops that don't monitor hours spent on jobs closely, they will probably lean toward using sandpaper until it's smooth as silk. Other shops will replace the paper as soon as the cutting drops off a bit, typically allowing the job to be completed faster. You pay the price, either with labor, or with additional product. Sorry it wasted your time. Thanks for watching.

Also try using a gum rubber bar to clear grit on stuff that clogs with heat. Car paint and epoxy are hard on sand paper.

I been using the 3m for my dustless system, I'm also been wondering about the cheaper paper. Tha KS for the vid 🙌🏽
ive starting using Sunmight sandpaper a box of 50 ceramic is about 15 euros here

Type of abrasive is going to show up in cost and performance..
LET'S GO TJ 🏁
The 3M Cubitron Xtract sanding discs work well but not on a sanding block or even folded to get in into tight spots.
Test Eagle abrasives/Kovax against 3M
I have not try the 3M xtract sandpaper yet
Good test. Thank you.
"Youre making a mess i know that"...
.."are we?"
😮 slight digs happening between these two!
3M Xtract sanding discs require a 3M Xtract back-up pad
Not really, but it will make your (more expensive) sanding pad last a lot longer.
@@nominalvelocityNaw it really does need it because it doesnt stick for shit conpared to normal hook and loop paper.

3M sandpaper buffing compound polishing pads sandpaper double sided tape and so on is best and I always pay the price for the 3M
Good video 🎉

lots of eh, meh and gesticulation doesn't make this video very scientific :)
