Truenotch Posted August 28, 2013 Share Posted August 28, 2013 Man there's a lot of chat about cutoff wheels here... Anyone would think you lot were into rusty cars? My makita ones sell for around $30 for a 10pack at bunnings (standard retail) and they can get a lot cheaper. From experience, the Norton ones are OK, but Sunflex is priced better and The Toolshed branded ones are cheaper again (I used to sell them for $1ea to trade guys or cheaper for 50). It's worth spending a bit extra to get a good 1mm inox disc (usually labelled stainless steel) as they last a lot longer. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
eke_zetec_RWD Posted August 28, 2013 Share Posted August 28, 2013 Pps stuff is quality. Price isn't everything as usual. We use about $250 a week of pps discs. Go have a visit 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
smokin'joe Posted August 28, 2013 Share Posted August 28, 2013 can vouch for the Toolshed branded ones probably not as good as flexovit, but at at the price they are value for money Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
drftnmaz Posted August 28, 2013 Author Share Posted August 28, 2013 I spent the afternoon making stuff using a makita 1.2mm blade and it lasted the whole time, abit slower to cut but took a punishing, much like a flexovit wouldi think i'll try most of them over the next couple months and see if some of them suit my type of work better than others, might need to keep stocks of a couple types to suit... thanks guys!

Truenotch Posted August 28, 2013 Share Posted August 28, 2013 PPS do the PFERD brand of discs - extremely high quality and quite pricey, but have the best reputation in the industry. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Testament Posted August 29, 2013 Share Posted August 29, 2013 dont get HPM discs they are shit inox/norton/flexovit maybe a couple of others its worth getting the better ones even if they are twice the price as they last 4x as long and you arent getting pissed off and wasting time swapping discs every 3 minutes Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
drftnmaz Posted August 29, 2013 Author Share Posted August 29, 2013 I had heaps of failures with the Klingspor ones, get them hot and the glue fails, do a little side-grinding or cutting on funny angles and they can fly apart, however they are very quick to cut so can save alot of time when used properly, and time is money... first couple that let go can freak you out tho Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
