Shrinking discs - Where and How?!?!

I've got a couple dents in sheetmetal where the metal has stretched. (I think oilcanning might be the appropriate term?)

Where can a smalltown guy find a shrinking disc?

Who can coach me remotely on the "how to" part?

Thanks in advance for any advice.

 

Get ahold of Sunchaser Tools http://www.sunchasertools.com/ He is the originator, I think, of this disc and has an excellent video that copmes with it. He can UPS it to you. Don't use a cheapo China knock off! Ken's a real good guy too.

 

Naw, just search John Kelly's posts here, he even tells you how to build one from scratch!

 

What does John Kelly go by here?

 

Believe it or not... John Kelly


and that's who I got mine from, great price, great service....

Did a search on "John Kelly" and it said something like "user name not correct".

Any advice?

 

I just read an article in somewhere , maybe Ol' Skool Rodz , that shrinking discs can be lethal if they come unglued from stress . If that's the case , I'd definately buy a good quality one . We don't want to lose any HAMBsters if it can be avoided .

 

Go to advanced search and put it under user name it will give you a scroll down list. I don't think there is a space between the first and last name JohnKelly

 

try John_Kelly with the underscore in between or click on the link that zman has in his post.

i agree john kelly good people.

later jim

 

Yep.....Scroll up to post #5 by zman and click on John Kelly that's a link to his user profile.

 

LOL, yeah I made it a link...

 

there is no glue to come unglued. it is a solid stainless steel disc.

any metal object spinning 5000 RPM can become lethal if not used carefully.

 

Get one from John Kelly....his won't come apart on you.

His website will show you how to use it.

Great service from John.

Ditto. And if you're an alliance member, he'll give you a discount!

 

Hey,

A gentelman by the name of Scott Knight "invented" the disc, Ken/Sunchasertools either bought the rights to market the disc, or markets
the disc for Mr.Knight. Before the "invention" of the disc, we jus' used dead, worn-out 60 grit closed coat grinding discs, and a wet rag.
As with any tool, always inspect all parts that rotate or move prior to
use.
