Use it when

The fit is obvious.

· Reach for the Mirka ABRANET 5" 120 Grit when the job is woodworking prep, dust-free orbital sanding, and production finishing: that is the fight it was built for.
· Aluminum oxide is the reliable one: cheap, tough, no surprises and no complaints. It will outlast your patience before it outlasts the job.
· This is the working middle: enough bite to matter, refined enough to leave the job somewhere worth continuing.

Skip it when

The job asks for something else.

· Leave it if you are actually solving a different stage of the climb than the one this pick was chosen for.
· Leave it if the budget is tight enough that value-per-pack matters more than top-end feel and longevity: good mid-tier paper will get you there slower.
· Leave it if the work is edges, profiles, and tiny repairs: those are easier to control by hand.

Is 120 the right grit lane for this?
