Yandles offers on abrsive discs

[graduate_owner]

Hi all, just a thumbs up - Yandles have 150mm Mirka abrasives on offer. 240 grit basecoat and 800 grit gold at 100 disks for £10. These are normally about £8 for 10 disks. No other grit sizes on offer.

They do this every now and then when they get stock that isn't selling so well last year I picked up 4 boxes of the Mirka sheets for a fraction of what they usually sell for

A good buy, mine came yesterday. Thanks.

I knew I should have got the 150mm festool rather than the 125

 

[RobNichols]

I got a pack too - very pleased.

always worth a look at their sale pages, I picked up an irwin chisel a couple of months ago £25 reduced to 99p!

Scissors maybe

On my smaller sanding pads I usually use oversized discs, it saves the edges digging in.

Ok so today I received my Mirka 800 grit and my 240 grit . I’ve used their sheet sandpaper but not ghe discs . I’m a little confused ( not difficult these days) the 800 I expected to be really rough and the 240 fine . It’s the other way round. Have I lost the plot or do Mirka,s grade their discs different to other makes or have mine been misprinted..

 

[Phil Pascoe]

The bigger the number the finer. All makes are the same. (I use 40 - 12,000)

 

[Bingy man]

I have p800 gold - extremely fine and p240 considerably rougher than the p800 ??

 

[Phil Pascoe]

Yes, the bigger the number the finer. (I edited my post.)

Having just read my post I’m claiming a moment of insanity. I was getting confused with 80 grit . If the men in white Coats are about I’m ready to leave now .

I always think about it as the number of grains in a square inch (probably not the case but it serves the purpose), so the more grains the smaller they need to be. so the higher number is the finer the grain.

LOL, I know that feeling.... I now have both, got the ETS EC 150/5 and the ETS 125 which is about a 2.6.

What's the Difference Between Sandpaper Grit and Sandpaper Grade?​

Grit refers to the specific size of the abrasive grain (40, 80, 120 etc.), whereas grade is a broader term that covers a range of grits. For example, medium grade can include grit sizes between 80 and 100.

Mine came promptly too. Very pleased, and really good value. First time ordering from Yandles.

Having saved a good few quid and no longer confused by 80 / 800 grit I’ve inadvertently created a reason to buy a decent orbital sander ..
