Try for what? I used them for light rust and paint removal on metal. Depending on the spin orientation on wood you may get a sandblasting effect. Pretty harsh stuff, even the fine grit.

I've got the Nyalox 4" in 120 and 240G;

That I use in my Foredom occasionally to remove loose bark/punk/lichen from live edge...loose carbon when torching wood etc.
Like Gert says, even the 240G can be a bit harsh except with a light touch, and when going with the grain it definitely will give you a sandblasted/barnboard look.
Available at Ace Hardware is why I have Nyalox.
Don't use them much for hardwood, but handy to have in the shop.
Very good for what they do though.

Thanks, the package gave little indication as to what the product was suited for.
