Depends on what your wanting to do? personally i would just buy the set from 50 through to buff then you have all bases covered. Best to speak to Alan he will advise you best.

i use the 200 one mostly. also bought the 400 pad, but the 200 is perfect for tidying the edge of a cut

For most tiling applications the first four grits are most useful (the electroplated ones). #50 through #400.

#800 upwards are useful for natural stone, polished marble that kind of thing.

If anyone orders the set linked above on eBay would you let me know if you're sent the same pads as appear in the photograph on the listing please.

We currently have eBay (and HMRC) looking at that seller as they are selling product at a lot less than cost when VAT, ebay fees and postage is stripped out (if they are actually supplying the products photographed). We currently think they are claiming VAT is included in the price but they appear not to be VAT registered, plus other potential fraud issues.

We're cheap on these products, but it's difficult to compete against sellers that aren't playing by the same rules.

I have a set of those pads from that eBay seller, I'll check them against the picture tomorrow for you, I could even post a photo up if you like.

I'd really appreciate that. We're just trying to figure out how they can sell them for that price. It just doesn't add up. We have a couple of ideas but it's not something I'd post in public without any firm evidence, which we're gathering.

Thanks for that I will have a look at ATS and order 2 or 3:D

Do bear in mind the #50 is very coarse. We sell a large number of those to concrete firms for removing seams from castings and also to glazing firms for cleaning up the edges of cut glass when it isn't going to be seen but needs to be handled.

If you want something for tidying up envelope cuts then #100, #200 and #400 are going to be the most used grits.
