The verdict
Where this pick fits.
120 grit on a 6-inch platform: the refinement pass that covers cabinet doors and large panels in one go. Ceramic that keeps cutting past the point aluminum oxide would quit.

Use it when
The fit is obvious.
- · Reach for the Diablo 6-Inch 120 Grit when the job is pre-finish large surfaces, cabinet doors, and 6-inch sander prep: that is the fight it was built for.
- · Ceramic grain fractures into fresh edges as it wears, so it stays hungry long after cheaper grit goes dull and starts rubbing instead of cutting.
- · This is the working middle: enough bite to matter, refined enough to leave the job somewhere worth continuing.
Skip it when
The job asks for something else.
- · Leave it if you are actually solving a different stage of the climb than the one this pick was chosen for.
- · Leave it if longevity and cut speed matter more than the price: cheap abrasive is cheap for reasons you feel on the tenth sheet.
- · Leave it if the work is edges, profiles, and tiny repairs: those are easier to control by hand.

Buyer questions
The practical questions.
What is the Diablo 6-Inch 120 Grit actually good at?
120 grit on a 6-inch platform: the refinement pass that covers cabinet doors and large panels in one go. Ceramic that keeps cutting past the point aluminum oxide would quit. In short: it earns its keep on pre-finish large surfaces, cabinet doors, and 6-inch sander prep.
Is 120 the right grit lane for this?
It sits closest to 80 grit, 100 grit, 120 grit, and 150 grit. This is a cutting stage, not a finish stage. Use it to remove material, not to fake smoothness.
What should you put it up against before buying?
Put it against other discs in the same price band doing the same job: that is where speed, finish, and cost-per-use sort themselves out.
Rough start. Smooth finish. The gap between is where the work happens.
