I have been buying my grinding / flapper disks locally and then I found this place. Cheap is all I have to say!

I paid $50 for 10 flappers disks locally and at this site you can get 20 for under $40!

I will agree with that statement, but I am willing to try once.

Well I got them in last night and they look pretty good. First thought was I bought the wrong ones becuase the middle has threads instead of being an open hole. I then took one and place it on my grinder and it threaded on perfectly. The middle is plastic and is rated at 13,000 RPMs so they are the same as all the others I have bought. The sand/flapper part is really thick almost twice as thick as the other I have used.

I will take a test ride with them tomorrow and give a full report.

So I took them for a test ride and they work great. I am actually impressed, the 40 grit blasted through .120 DOM welded to the cage that was left over from cutting the rear cage out with a saw saz.

Here is the stack of 11 flapper and 10 cut off wheels for around $40 shipped to my door.

Being an ex sales rep of abrasives I cant believe the price!. I still get killer deals from the ex employer... But nothing that good! I will be placing an order here mid month. Thanks for the lead.
A dollar saved, is a dollar folded in half according to bigboys signature. LMAO Thanks again for the post ThumbUp

I am very happy that I found a place with great prices and that work. I was sceptical at first but happy so far with the product. I will do a more long term test to see how they hold up so far I give them a thumbs up.
