silverline grinding discs

[rhubarb7]

I recently went through 30 silverline cutting discs cutting a car up..

They were on offer at Toolstation, £3.89 I think for 10 discs..

They haven't had any in stock for a while..must be cos they are crap

I've got some silverline 115mm cutting discs and they seem alright

i don't mind silverline sockets, i've got quite a few only 3/8 and 1/4 though. they seem fairly precision made and no problems so far. bought a few other tools from them and to be fair some are **** like an auto wire stripper but the sockets are alright. my advice is maybe stay away from silverline that has moving parts.

I suppose the name says it all complete rubbish or am i missing summit.
Got a pack of ten rather cheaply late last year only started using them in the last few weeks as you see the the pics they seem to lose there grit so to speak and start to glaze over,the one on the left is the newish one with about 10 mins of work,however the on the right is what happens after about 20 mins work just looks as though its melting sort of thats where you start using extreame pressure on the old grinder(as we all do of course),but to be honest with these i'd be better of filing the welds back.

yer i know,you get what you pay for

So can anyone recommend a good disc that rips like hell but dont wear out as much?

i find Dronco discs excellent. Give them a go.. you wont be disappointed. If you are polishing welds
get some flap discs for a fantastic finish. More expensive but a whole lot less work and a whole lot less dust
