Noel,

    Should I dare assume that the 220 wheel is steel and the 280 is a
    soft wheel? If that is the case, there is still a loooot of
    difference as the 220 acts as a fine grinder whilst the 280 is a 1st
    sander which primarily used to do any final shaping (only slight
    though) and create a relatively smooth surface to the ?400?....I
    normally go directly to a 600 soft from the 280. 

    Without the 280 (which cuts much softer than 280 after it is broken
    in) the 600 will overwork and quickly become useless. 

Cheers from Don in SOFL.
