Silicon Carbide Discs + Flexible Backer for Angle Grinder / SAIT - Tile Advice

[Julian 'Farmer' Bonsall]

I bought some 5" discs (United Abrasives SAIC) along with a flexible backing pad (hook type) to fit into a grinder. (4" also available) for polishing ceramic cut edges. I will also try them in one of my air polishers.

These were from ATS Diamond Tools with some help. (SAIT Velour Silicon Carbide Discs 125mm - ATS Diamond Tools - https://www.atsdiamondtools.co.uk/product/sait-velour-silicon-carbide-discs-125mm/). Due to the fact I only wanted 10 discs to try I purchased through there ebay site. Lots of products on there and no accounts or VAT needed really handy.

Good to know, what grit did you end up getting and what would you recommend?

get a selection depending on what you want them for.
80 , 120 , and 240 will cover you for most porcelain work,. Go finer if your work with marble /stone.
