O.K. I checked them out. They have the set ( 325, 600, 1200 mesh and polishing pad) of color coded sanding discs that come in the package. They also sell them separately. Looks like they are the flexible type so the sponge discs are good to go. But it seems JS Gems doesn't sell the sanding discs separately from the package.
JS Gems also includes in the package a 180 GRIT 8" DIAMOND LAP which, according to their site, weighs 1 pound so I am assuming that is rigid and the sponge disc would not be needed (Yes? No?).
Would it be odd to have the following: 80 Grit and 180 grit rigid discs, 325, 600, and 1200 flexible discs, and a 3000 grit rigid disc set up?
Don't know if I am mixing apples and oranges. LOL!
Hopefully John at JS Gems will see this and chime in.
