Parweld 125mm x 1mm cutting discs

[gordon stephenson]

I have searched the forum but found nothing, Has anybody used these discs, and if so how did they perform, I usually use Smith and Arrow, they are pretty good but wonder if parweld ore ok for the money.

 

[Tom Orrow L]

I know a rep of Parweld's, told me they sell 40K of these per month. Must be a reason behind it.. Usually can't fault Parweld stuff. How much they going for anyway?

Price is £45-00 for 100. Anybody recommend other good discs at a reasonable price?

Not bad, 45p each.. Could try the Abracs extra thin 5 Inch. They're about the same cost if not a little less

 

[gordon stephenson]

I have looked for the Abracs discs and can't find any at the price you have quoted Tom.

 

[Jim Davey]

We do Tyrollit for about that same money too.

 

[gordon stephenson]

Hello Jim,
If your Tyrolit are 125mm x 1mm I will ring in the morning to order,

 

[Jim Davey]

I'll check but by the time VAT and carriage is added I suspect you'll be able to obtain discs cheaper locally.

 

[gordon stephenson]

Thanks Jim,

 

[Jim Davey]

45p is that an inc vat or exc vat price?

 

[gordon stephenson]

Hi, Jim. 45p is including VAT and delivery of buying 100

 

[Jim Davey]

No way I can match that on such a small quantity I'm afraid Gordon. That's a very cheap price, does your current disc last well?

My local has them at like 42p + VAT each, they come in little metal tins of 10

 

[gordon stephenson]

My current Smith and Arrow discs last fairly well. I also sometimes use their 0.8mm discs which are also not too bad,

Parweld discs arrived today. I ordered 50 to see how they perform, First impressions are favourable,they run smoothly with no vibration. Cutting speed using light pressure is good too and they seem to be not wearing too rapidly. Working out around 46p each so pleased with the price, Will report further when they have had a more prolonged test.

 

[gordon stephenson]

Used a few of the Parweld disc now, Performing very well. As already said well balanced,smooth running and last well too. Will definitely buy again. In fact I might just order another 50 now in case they raise in price in the future.

i use the dronco discs had enough of the cheapies so went for a better make

the flap disc and the grinder disk are good chews metal off at a quick rate and levels the metal pretty quickly
the 1mm disc are much better and last a little longer depending on how you are with them force vs speed which you want to do
3mm i have them but much prefer the 1mm for cutting most steel including 5mm steel plate
i tend to use the 3mm when folding the metal after precuting the metal with 1mm for a line

 

[gordon stephenson]

How much are you paying for your Dromco discs,and from where?

becareful of these as will not fit a standared 4 1/2" grinder smaller centre

to give you an idea ive just opened the 6mm discs and im still on the first disc its the same with the 3mm ones the 1mm ones im going to need some more as on the last 10 out of 25 that i bought

sparks from the metal does fly off rather quickly but it grinds the metal smooth in no time ive used the flap discs on painted metal and it cleans them off quickly to the metal surface also im still on my first flap disk

depending how i use the grinder with the 1mm one disk will cut through 5mm 14" and then cut it again at 11" before needed to renew disc

3mm steel 30" x2 before needing another disk

rough quotes this is using a hand grinder pressure and pull by the grinder makes a difference with the user ive found sometimes pulling the grinder back into the work it preserves the disk much better than skiming across the top plate
