JohnP, you can get a larger variety in 20 per pack of each grit or you can buy a sample kit for $16.95, which I think is a little high, but I bought them anyhow. Go to www.aircraft-tool.com, click on "download ecatalog", then in catalog, click on "3M products," then scroll about half way down the page and you will find them. Let me know if you don't find them. I have an extra sample kit that I might considering selling for the $16.95 they cost me plus shipping if you can't find them. The sample kit consists of:

7440 -- 50 grit - heavy duty pad - Tan/Brown  
7446 - 150 grit - blending pad - Gray
7447 - 400 grit - general purpose pad - Maroon
8447 - 600 grit - production pad - Maroon (different shade of maroon than 7447)
6448 - 800 grit - light duty - Dark Gray
7448 - 1000 grit- ultra fine - Light gray
7445 - 1200 grit- light duty - White

Some of the higher grit pads when rubbed with your fingers, feel coarser then the lower grit pads, but the numbers I have listed is what came off the box they are shipped in.

charlest -- One good use for the white pads -- if you have customers that like a drilled thumb instead of an insert, you can cut a square of the white pad about 1 1/2", punch a hole in the middle of it and use it in your butterfly sander (add a small washer on both sides of the square) to make a drilled hole that is as smooth as an insert.  --  JohnP

Brickguy221 -- I can't get the link you posted to work.  I get the "This Page Cannot Be Displayed" message.  Please recheck and repost if there's an error in it.  I've tried deleting the "-"  and adding another one between air and craft and neither worked.  Thanks  --  JohnP

I think you have to remove the comma he accidently put in after the .com

Try this:

Not having sanded any butterflies lately, btu being a little bit of a woodworker, I wonder what you call a "butterfly sander"?

Is it what some call a "Bevel Sander" -
