Anyone used the Hutchins Water bug III ? Can the Mirka abrolon disks be used on this sander? did not see any results on any of my searches.Thanks -
Re: just bought a hutchins waterbug 3 need.....
bradszr1s,
The technique for using your Waterbug III should be pretty much the same as for any other DA sander but you won’t have to do as much water spritzing since it has the built-in water feed.
I was trained on the Mirka system and would highly recommend it. But I’ve also used 3M’s Trizact products and they're excellent too. I’ve never tried Norton.
Here’s a great series of videos: 5 Video segments on wet-sanding and using a rotary buffer
If your sander has a normal “hook” faced backing plate it will work for Mirka. If it has the reversed “loop” plate it’s set up for 3M Trizact. Personally, I’d get both type plates so I’d have the option of using anybody’s abrasives.
ADCOX,
Yes, you can use Mirka disks with the Waterbug. (Hutchins even calls out some Mirka abrasives in their instructions.)

Any thoughts on the Hutchins 7544 vs the Mirka Bulldog, which would you choose for the wet sanding process if you were going the air powered DA route?Comment
