Was that in their place near Coppid Beech / Bracknell? Went there for a seminar a few years ago and the site tour was very interesting.

I don't particularly want free samples..but its nice to know it works before you shell out a lot of cash for an 8 inch wheel (to get the outer wheel speed).If you would have mentioned yesterday….

I was sure someone on here would have had the need to deburr all thread before now.
PLUS I would have liked to use Amazon as prime is free and next day.
MSC or Cromwell is close enough to drive and collect. But I can't find the exact wheels.
I am sure Joe's was about a quarter of an inch AND in addition to being cheaper the thinner wheel helps it to be more aggressive and targeted.
Do they sell from there?
The biggest issue I am having is finding a local place with the wheels actually in stock.
Hayley group is a retailer for 3M but none of their outlets have 8 inch x 1/4 in stock.

No sorry mate, it’s a manufacturing plant I just happened to be working in for a couple of days, I thought the history of abrasives picture on the wall was quite appropriate for this post though!
Did you see my link to a de-burr/chamfer tool from RS that was big enough?

I have brought a box full home but they are all 6"
There were a few 8" ones in there so I'll have a look at them tomorrow

From experience, 3M have a very helpful technical centre in Manchester. I had to call them several times in the back in the 90s (not metalwork related) and they were able to provide chapter and verse on their products. If they can't help you/point you in the right direction, then you're stuffed. A further point, if you tell them about your anticipated volume, they're not averse to handing out free samples for trial purposes, which can save you a packet on buying multiple wrong items.
Yes mate. I have one of those but it won't touch it.. just makes it worse actually.
Cheers bud. A 6 inch one might do. I was just going off what Joe Pie said. Bigger circumference harsher removal.
Will try amd find number tomorrow.

8" grinders normally spin slower than 6" so both sizes should be running about the same speed.
Unless Joe is using an 8" wheel on a 6" grinder?

Good question lol
