I'm tempted to go for some of those ultra thin cut off disks .. but I've had disks explode in my face before. How do I know these aren't cheap chinese knockoffs with a fancy label?

There is a Klingspor plant is here in town. I went to find some rather large sheets of course grit for a project before work one morning.

The manager took me for a tour before they opened the plant, after I explained what I was looking for (12" x 60" 80 grit & the same in 120 grit ) he gave me a mix of 10 large pieces of cut offs and joint tape for nothing!!
I was amazed.. they have everything and every type of abrasive to make belts discs you name it.

I will be ordering a bunch of 1" x 42" belts soon ..

Hey guys... These are absolutely made in Germany by Klingspor. I have sold a lot of different brands over the years and Klingspor is by far the leader when it comes to providing quality, SAFE tools. Every Klingspor cut-off wheel is certified by oSa:

oSa (Organisation for the Safety of Abrasives)

The oSa is an association of responsible manufacturers of abrasive tools in Europe. The intention of the organisation is to meet the high quality and safety demands made on the use of abrasive tools and thus to set a clear sign against inferior products.

As part of their inhouse quality management system manufacturers like KLINGSPOR see to it that strict provisions are kept to and that exclusively safe and top-quality products are produced and marketed. This means increased safety in usage for the user and a reduced liability risk for the trader.

The oSa confirms this internal commitment by issuing the globally protected oSa trademark.

We even have ultra thin A80TZ wheels that are a nominal .80mm thick that have this safety standard.

Give 'em a try... you'll love them!

Come bye any time LORDDiESEL... #8-2075 Henry Ave Sidney

Awesome. I've been looking for quality wheels. I had a mastercraft wheel come apart and blow a hole in my leg last summer. 8 stitches late... I will never use cheap wheels again. It's only a deal until you get hurt.
