It was just the finest I happened to have on hand.. It was either 330 or 380.. I'd have to check ..But it wasn't any finer than that. Seemed to do a good job though. I use the sanding sponges mostly for sanding the body roundovers and such.. They compress to the curves and roundovers so you don't get any lines and your edge roundovers look really smooth and beautifully "rounded".. I think the sponges are fantastic for that work..
They seem to do a heck of a job on the fret ends from my perspective.

It just seems to me to be a very good way to do the job.. How long would it take a person to do a fret end job with a file?? It takes like 10 minutes with a sanding sponge and the results are very uniform and smooth....
I don't happen to have a neck that has any finish on the fret board but that would need to be taken into consideration for a finished neck.

That's kind of interesting. I've never thought of tuners as being inexpensive. In fact, I have a few flea-market guitars that were less than some tuner sets that I've purchased. That might not be a good example. The tuners were new. The junk-yard dogs . . . not so much.

Chinese locking tuner copies can be surprisingly decent (at least Kmise were)
Although, depending on the Squier model, you may need to ream the holes (if the originals are those cheapie trapezoid tuners)

If you replace the tuners, use the vintage style ones, where the end of the string goes down into the post. Still my favorite by far, and they look good.
