Flap-sanding Discs for Angle grinder

[Degnol]

Do you have a Big Lots near you? I picked these up fo $3@. Made in the USA and about 1/3 the price of the local hardware store. If you do any metal work, fabbing or finishing, these are very handy. I got 24, 40, 80 and 120 grit.
Just thought I'd brag a little.

nice catch, I'll have to swing by the Biglots here in Wichita and see they have any.

 

[Degnol]

IB, I can go and get you some. You never know which Big Lots! will have what.
I'm sure we'll hook up at Poser's sometime. Not really "hook up" but you know....

those are so much nicer than a grinding wheel.
quieter and a much better finish

I must suck at life or something, 'cause I have yet to have any luck with these things. I always wear them out VERY quickly and then go back to the grinding disc.

I have found the sandpaper wheels, designed to be used with a rubber backing plate, work great all by themselves. They contour under pressure to the shape of whatever you're sanding. They are particularly useful on round tube.

you must
just kidding

what you don't want to do is use them on a hot weld or load them up with powder coating. thay will burn and load up.
unhsercoating is no good either.

Ary, try the Dewalt Zirconium flap disc sanders. They are the shizzl. The 36 grit ones can eat up some metal like nobodies business and last almost as long as a grinding wheel on my 4-1/2" grinder. I don't know what they cost in the real world, but I pay 2.94 each

Madd, three of the ones I bought are Zirconium, but I've never seen them that cheap.....that's why I bought them. You must get a deal on them, huh?

Yeah, I get em at wholesale cost at work. I get a lot of my tools thru work. saves me a few bucks and I don't have to go anywhere to get em. Convenient!
