angle grinder discs

I'll order one and do it myself and report back as I use a lot of conventional bonded 4.5's.

Looking forward to the results. Bound to be more "real world" than any guess-timates I could make.

Try the Cubitron II discs too. Those things eat metal like crazy. But yeah they are pricey

I'll install the Pferd disc on one 4.5 air grinder and a conventional bonded disc on the other air grinder and smooth out the same lineal footage of weld beads and compare wear on the discs.

Though I never replied, the Pferd discs do last a lot longer than the bonded cheapo discs to and the cut better. Just not sure about the cost versus use ratio.

Threads on nicely and will give it a test soon, but, is that it?

That's all I do with mine. Oh and Do Not Lean on the disks, they cut steel like buttah if you use a light hand.

I've been using the same disk since july 2021 on my 4.5 angle grinder and so to on my 8" larger grinder. Done plenty of De-scaling grinding and sharpening
The 4.5" is looking like I ought to change it but the damn thing still cuts better than any flap disk I've used.

You kind of have to look at the time saved in your cost analysis as well as the cost per disk and wear rate. For some of us time is money

How many men work work in the shop?

How many men work work in the shop?

3, but most times just me. Depends on what the workload is.

I was just curious how you were using so many as to buy in bulk? I run a welding shop so to speak, I bet I use a dozen a year anymore.
