At our Men's Shed we use flap discs for contouring wood. The discs get clogged up after a while so there's no point buying expensive ones so I went hunting on ebay and found these.

I was able to buy 30 discs each of 40 & 60 grit for just over £6, that's roughly 10p each!
They have been tested thoroughly on wood & they are great. I tried them on steel & I wasn't expecting much but they are actually quite decent. Ok, they are not as good as the Dronco ceramic ones I have but they are as good as any other standard type flap disc & you can buy 40 blue point discs for the price of one dronco!
That sellers shop isn't currently listing the bulk buy ones I bought but from the feedback it looks like they come up regularly. If you buy a few lots of 30 at a time you get a further discount.
Might be a while though as I went back & bought 240 more discs to sell on!
