I’m doing a bunch of ch***is fab stuff and I used up the last of my favorite flapper discs. Somewhere I picked up a couple packs of 40 grit discs from G2. No idea who they are but those discs were indestructible. They cut fast and lasted forever. I use them for everything. But now I can’t find them anywhere. Internet searching found some at a wholesale supplier but just a few60 grit, 5”. Nothing turned up searching for the manufacturer. I tried using Dewalt but they lasted about 1/3 the time and they are ridiculously expensive. What’s your favorite flapper disc for general grinding and where do you get em?
I Have had very good results with Benchmark, They work well for me and the price is very reasonable. https://benchmarkabrasives.com/?&sv...d2474d4121a24ecc1b69f4242eef9aa8&gad_source=1
I've seen them advertised, maybe I'll try a pack. Thanks. Yeah, but it seems the term applies to both types. That's why I included a picture.
This is the flap disc brand I prefer. POLIFAN flap disc PFC 125x22.23 mm conical Z60 Uni. Line PSF STEELOX steel/stainless steel (10) Being in Australia, I can't compare them to the US range of similar products, but I've had very good service life from this brand. I also use their thin cutting discs with the same very good performance.
The company that made them is "finish 1st" but not finding more than that. Wonder if they went belly-up or bought out ? ...
I get mine at the swap meets/ flea markets. There’s some “regulars” I buy from and they seem to work just fine for my kind of skills.
^^^^ Me too, and I'm sure that's where I got these, but I don't remember which swap meet. Probably at Bakersfield, at the Hot Rod Reunion. I bought 2 packs of 6 discs probably two or more years ago and I've only just now run out. Boy, I've bought some real junk lately trying to find some decent ones. Some don't last 30 minutes. I ordered the ones shown above, thanks! They only showed 3 available, I bought them all. Hopefully they will have more. I'm going to try the ones from Benchmark too and see....
I just picked up some from Princess Auto. They have their “Power Fist” brand and sell a “Pro Point” brand as well incl all kinds of tools. Think Harbor Freight type quality. I find they don’t last long, but then again they are about 1/4 to 1/3 the price of say Walter stuff. I have used the Walter Flexcut disc. They work really well. Really good on rough corrosion, but are $$$, and don’t last extremely long based on the price.
