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 almost forgot about this post - ordered 100 of each - unbelievable value- thanks for sharing.
I knew I should have got the 150mm festool rather than the 125
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..
The bigger the number the finer. All makes are the same. (I use 40 - 12,000)

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