Found these and ordered. I got the course of this one and the other 2 I went eith cheaper ones I found before I found this one. Would have went with this set from the start.

I haven't needed to use the course yet but medium and fine take out marks quickly. Then I put on my 400 flex pad.

These save sooo much time for doing large slabs.

How do you plan on holding the slabs in place. Without some way of fixing them in place the grinder will launch them.

I put the slab on a block of wood, the friction pressure keeps it in place. My grinder is variable speed to about 6000 from do it's not too fast to do that.
