		TCS-80 Fine Grit: Still lower material removal rates. For polishing of concrete
		and medium grinding on Terrazzo and stone type floors. Life 8 - 20 hours.
		(The larger the number, the finer the grain structure, and the smoother the surface
		material finish, and the longer the grinding stone life)
