Title: Re: paint and surface rust Post by: FCRB26 on May 01, 2010, 06:53:48 PM I use them at work also known as cut N strip discs 115mm they vary in price a lot from $23 at supercheap to $8.90 at Gasweld have seen them on e bay as well do not use on big panels like pedro said they warp stuff.
I got small ones yesterday and use them in a "ROLOC" adaptor on my 90 degree die grinder. |
