So, since they seem to be made for using with hardened steel, as far as
I can tell, these have little value for hogging out glass, maybe can be
used to hogg out a mirror, with rough SiC, but then you'd have to go
ahead and epoxy tiles over them for finner grit.  Not sure worth the
effort...

I have 15 of these things....8+)

Later
