Do you guys also wait far too long to switch out your flap disc wheels?

You have to get your money’s worth. Run them till you smell the adhesive burning.

I keep some around that are just a bit less used than that one. for jobs that will kill the disks (like edges and blades) Not worth wreaking a new disk for those jobs.

You’re suppose to change them???

I thought you only changed them when you wanted a different grit! :man_facepalming:

I felt the same way Bret! I was like “there is lots of good wear left on that one on the right.” :woozy_face:

I don’t go that long the edge gets to rounded, and they polish more than grind.

I am looking at going back to this style but in this quick change type

There is another brand called Combi click
Flap discs work good for final grinding after knocking welds down with something else.

I guess it depends on how good it has to look and what your grinding.

:man_shrugging:
Where did Knick get IN? Phillip you are always invited.

Edit:
Finally got it :man_facepalming:
You thought Knick became a member of the Grinder’s Anonymous Club (GAC). If he did get in, we wouldn’t know it!

You don’t have to be a member of the club to use a grinder…golly gee!!!

Nothing I’ve found works better that PFERD 61167 for fast grinding. These are awesome, flappy disks don’t even come close. One thing to consider, using these doesn’t heat up your work because they’re so fast. I have a dedicated grinder with one always on it, they last a long time.

Thanks for the tip. I ordered a 10 pack of the Pferd discs, which will probably be a lifetime supply for me. I’m not a member of the grinders club, but I occasionally need to grind a weld flush or grind mill scale for weld prep.

And ‘WE’ don’t want you to be a member. We just ordered jackets and they are numbered. Too much of a hassle to change the order now! :rofl:

You need to step up your game. Grab a Holey Galahad and stop replacing flap discs :grinning:

I couldn’t use that. It says “best used on flat surfaces.”

My welds are never flat.

I use the combiclick, not impressed with them. Abrasives give up the ghost too fast.

I do like the Victograin, gotta be careful because how fast it removes metal.

Combi-click system works great. You can keep the ground surface flatter, and with care a 36 grit disc can still leave a decent surface finish, or hog away material like a beast.

I agree with @Sticks, the high grits seem to glaze over faster than flap discs though.
