Thin cutting discs - best prices?

[monkeymark]

If all goes to plan I may be in need of a few thin cutting discs for a 4 1/4" grinder on a semi regular basis.

I know a few on here probably use quite a lot so where are the best places to get them from as the likes of screwfix would get expensive for decent ones? Every penny counts

Apologies if this has already been brought up a thousand times.

I find these quite good

Can't go far wrong with 1.0mm Evolution Cutting Discs 115mm, as supplied by Weldequip.
Cut well and very durable. I've also tried Dewalt disc, and although good, not as good as the Evolutions.

I'm thinking about getting a few 9" discs to use on a 'chop saw' angle grinder. Are the Screwfix or Toolstation ones good value?

better to buy klingspoor or similar imo... cost a bit more sometimes but always perform well

The 'Erbauer' ones at Screwfix seem to have good reviews.

 

[mike os]

I've used Drake Tooling the last few times for flap discs / grinding discs /cutting discs. They seem fine at a good price.

Happened upon them looking for the cheapest place for carolus torque wrenches.

That's where I get mine from, buy 50 at a time to get them cheaper, used bosch before that and these seem to last longer and cost less

Drakes sell the same type but looking quickly are cheaper even when buying just 1 compared to 50 at abtec. Haven't checked all sizes but the 125 x 1mm seems that way.

Looks like I'll be ordering from there from now onwards then! Cheers for pointing that out

i get the 3M ones from cromwell -they smell nice

I use flexovit from Lawson at around 55p and get 100 at a time

Flexovit ones are nice, Reca, Klingspor, Dronco, Norton.... all good, by no meants the cheapest, but worth the extra imo.

 

[monkeymark]

Some great answers thanks, I'll check them out.

Not looking for cheapest, more the best value for money as some last considerably longer than others.

I do however use cheap grinders and just replace when dead though my current one has been going a few years now.

I just noticed last night that Smith and arrow are having a sale on Ebay, It gave me 20% off a box of 100 cutting discs (making it £36 for 100 delivered)

Flexovit 0.7mm's are awesome, but a little pricey and and hard to get in flat rather than DPC, the smith and arrow ones are a good low cost alternative.
