These are the ones i use at work,

These are ideal for Mild Steel as well as stainless, and seem to last a while,

Finally got round to having a look for some yesterday. Toss up between Abracs or Smith and Arrow ones. Been very impressed with the latter after a mate gave me a couple for me to try, plus there cheaper, so I'll probably get them.

we've only ever used abracs and 3m ones at work. i have also found the Screwfix Erbauer ones to be very good for the money

 

[mowersman]

When you pop over, bring a couple of Abracs ones and I'll give you a couple of S&A ones.

slit discs

i use 1mm discs from two different manufacturers one been klingspor the other are from wurth . i pay 56pence a piece for either disc but find klingspor ones are alot cleaner and are ever so slightly harder

 

[neilarmo]

Anyone used any of the 9" 2mm slitting discs?
Another 'why haven't these been available before' moment.

 

[outofthefire]

Rhodius for me as well

 

[Sub-arc]

Klingspor all the way. Used to sell them. Once I got them into a place, they stayed in.

9" x 2mm around for loooooooong time.

Like the 9" 2mm ones seriously quick and reasonably priced ,

So,

Whats the outcome of the disc's, i you a Bosch 4" spinner, any ideas on what is most cost effective for me? I usually just go to b&q and buy whats there.

Cheers.

 

[Lawnmowerboy]

Is it 4 or 4 1/2"

B&Q is horribly expensive for abrasives. I saw a 115mm flap disk for 12 quid the other day....

The best advice is to shop around a bit, look for decent brands like klingspor, 3M, smith & Arrow, Dronco etc. I'v generally found that welding/engineering suppliers have the best prices. Even if you don't use that many it's worth getting bulk packs of 20 if you can

Individual supplier seem to vary their prices a lot too so its always worth keeping an eye out for the best deal.

This place: seems to have pretty decent prices, although I've not dealt with them myself yet so can't vouch for their service. http://www.waspsupplies.com/grinding-and-cutting-discs-11-c.asp

I don't use cutting discs often, I bought a screwfix one and it lasted no time at all. I bought ten discs from Cromwell, they are 3M and they cost something like 43p each. One disk did about ten times the work of the screwfix disk and still has plenty of life in it!

old thread, just found it after searching for reviews on cutting disks

I'm pretty sure the last lot of Norton disks I bought on ebay were fake.... seamed to last all of 2 seconds... had to cut up a 1.5mm sheet and each disk only lasted about 18 inches of cutting (even being very gentle)

I was sure Norton disks were decent but assumed I'd got mixed up.... ran out of cutting disks so borrowed one from next door, it was Norton too and lasted ages.... disks looked identical (from what I remember of used ones)

so all I can think of is they were counterfeit :-(


bought some klingspor disks from the WASP website mentioned in this thread earlier, figured they should be a better seller

This is the problem with ebay much of it is fake now....even paying a good price does not guarantee you genuine products any more..
