Title: Abrasives, cutting/grinding discs flap discs - ect ect ect Post by: tbone on May 14, 2009, 06:39:52 PM A1 Abrasives Ltd
40 Bowden Road Templecombe Somerset BA8 0LF 01963 371484 http://www.a1abrasives.co.uk/ Found these guys at the Basingstoke festival. Usualy i`m wary of buying cheaper discs and wheels, as i`ve had bad experiances in the past but thought i`d try these guys as the flap discs were less than half the price you will pay in a well known high street shop. I wasn`t dissapointed, very good quality.

Cheap or expensive, they never seem to last any longer. You're right though, I've had a couple of flap wheels fall apart in use over the years, flinging bits of emery paper across the bench. Always, always wear eye protection kids.

Title: Re: Abrasives, cutting/grinding discs flap discs - ect ect ect Post by: Manky Monkey on August 19, 2009, 04:20:46 PM I usually buy something like 80 grit. They start off quite fierce, so good for cutting back large areas, then as they wear down they become smoother, so good for finer work.
Something I use all the time, so if anyone can do a cheap deal on bulk orders, I'd be interested too.

Quick service and good quality kit. http://www.thepolishingshop.co.uk/ Title: Re: Abrasives, cutting/grinding discs flap discs - ect ect ect Post by: Manky Monkey on July 07, 2010, 12:35:33 PM Worth knowing. Thanks.
