Cutting/flap discs

[AlexBrown_1]

Seconded for the myconsumable site - I thought the prices were good and they seem like decent quality, but I'm not a heavy user so take that with a pinch of salt

I rate the klingspor ones.

SAIT are indeed shaite

Wurth are over priced and not great. Although they do a few quality levels

Might have to give them a go, I rate there abrasive papers , been using Parweld and they wear pretty quick but are dead cheap, boring swapping out frequently tho..
Just spied klingspor 25 for 20quid on ebay which ain't bad !

Try the 0.8 cutting discs. Cut anything easily, especially on a battery grinder

Klingspoor for cutting,

last grinding and flap were tyrolit, got a good deal as I ordered with a load of steel. Worked well from what I recall

The klingspore are not bad value for money,
I should have said 'vewerk' in my last post!

 

[mike os]

I’m not overly bothered about the cost, but just want the job done

I'm sure I'm not the only one who would appreciate you posting these notes as a 'stickie' for all of us to consult.

(unless they are proprietary to your purchasing group of course)

No, nothing proprietary about them.
We did the testing as part of a cpd day on how to carry out a test so it's about 10 sheets of A4!
I will condense it down to a basic review and post it up when I get 10mins..

There a brand called vewerk never used them myself but might be worth a try

Flexovit ultra-thin (0.8mm) are my fave slitting discs, but don't seem to be that widely available. HIS Lawson have them though.

We use Tyrolit ones at work. They recently tried some packs from FFX (dunno why, might have been supply issues) but they were slow cutting and brittle. You'd use 3 for every on Tyrolit disc.

For general use on steel these seem to be a good choice for cost vs lifespan vs performance

We have a farriers buying group set up and get them in bulk for about half that price.
I have got hundreds here at the moment if you want to try some!

We did do a fair bit of testing on various types and some definitely work better than others for certain applications so if it's a specific job you are doing let me know as I have a few notes on what was good for what

Oeer that would be good posted in here....save you some time replying individually??

Same here, I love those but they're hard to get hold of.

Im partial to the 3m ones, I use the 1mm thick ones, and the cutting performance is way above the 1mm flexovit ones at work.
Also a fan of the 3m fiber disks, especially the new purple Cubitron ones, they do knock down a weld or remove metal in no time.
Yes they are costly, but as you'll be done quicker,and the disks last longer you'll probably end up saving money in the end.
