+  * Grades: coarse, medium, super fine and very fine.
+  * Combined with Roloc backing, allows for aggressive cutting.
+  * Open-web construction resists loading and runs cool allowing for consistent finishes.
+  * 3M™ Roloc™ attachment system offers quick and easy disc change-out for multi-step finishing processes.
+  * Silicon carbide abrasive:
+    * Silicon carbide is a synthetic mineral that is very sharp and commonly used for low-pressure applications such as paint prep and finishing. \\ While silicon carbide breaks down faster than aluminum oxide, it produces a finer finish.
+  * Aluminum oxide abrasive:
+    * Aluminum oxide is a hard, blocky mineral that provides high cut-rate and long life.
+  * Mandrel and rubber backing pad are a separate item to the disks.
+  * Used for deburring, blending, finishing, grinding and surface prep.
+  * Also can be used to deepen the valve clearance eyebrows in the heads (if required). ((AussieGazza of the XLFORUM http://xlforum.net/forums/showthread.php?t=692835&page=3))
