Look at my previous message:

I'm talking about glass on glass grinding.  Francis said he got three 
7" glass blanks, and usually that implies grinding against each other 
and testing against each other later on.

I stop at 5u with tile tools for MACHINE work, because I get scratches 
with 3u.  For hand work tile and 3u might work fine.
