Grinding discs

Post by thinfourth » Mon Oct 25, 2010 10:00 pm

Dom don't get too excited

About a year or so ago i discovered this lot http://www.smithandarrow.co.uk/cart.php?m=splash

Who supply very good cutting, grinding and flap discs

Now i am about to put an order in for 4.5inch flap discs and 1.1mm cutting discs

As you can see the more you order the bigger the discount you get.

So is anyone here interested in any?

The cutting discs are first class and go through steel at a incredible speed and i haven't had any fail so they are of good quality and i have probably gone through about 100 of them.

So if you want some and you can pick-up from aberdeenish or if loads are wanted i can get them down to glasgow edinburgh let me know and i can order some up.

If i was ordering just for me i would get 100 cutting discs which will last me about a year maybe less if i'm doing alot of stuff and 20 flap discs

However if anyone else wants to order i can go up to the bigger boxes and get a better discount.

I will say the cutting discs because they are ultra thin they do wear down very quickly compared to a traditional thick disc but they cut ALOT faster

Now for those that haven't looked at the prices a quick compare to B&Q prices

DISC Smith&Arrow B&Q
Cutting disc £0.48 £2.50
Grinding disc £0.80 £5.58
Flap disc £2.13 £12.98

And the Smith & Arrow stuff is easily as good as the Bosch discs that B&Q are selling and the Smith & Arrow prices aren't the bulk buy prices which are 5% to 20% cheaper depending how many I buy.

I have been using them for maybe 2 years and haven't had any burst on me and i have been pretty abusive at times

If anyone wants to try a thin cutting disc and are in the Aberdeen area i can get 1 to you for a try
