Mine finally came today, USPS is slow this holiday season. I also ordered a 25 pack of 5" cut off wheels which seem to fit the 4 1/2 grinders just fine! Unfortunately, I just finished some metal working projects and don't have any planned in the near future - quality/feel seems about average with other cutting and grinding wheels I have used. I'm looking forward to seeing how they hold up.65fe49863b61811194da4b94cf8cc8dd.jpg

I keep reading about it on the Internet, but in a lot of years, going though a pack or more a week....not one has ever "exploded" not even when I have bound them up in a cut and chunked them. Perhaps its because Im smart enough to nut continue using one after the cut off tool got dropped or kicked and the wheel damaged...perhaps Im just the only one that posts to the Internet its never happened to...
They do not last as long as good 3M cut off wheels, nor do they cut as aggressively. But since they are 1/10 the cost the higher wear out rate is more then covered. So for now, I'll continue using a mix of 3M when I need slower ware rate or faster cutting, and cheapskates ones the rest of the time :D

You can find Internet posts about grinding wheels exploding as well, in 40 years try as I might by abusing when I did not know better as a kid, and now using them at or past the design intent sometimes and never had one do that either.
Hard to believe I know, the Internet says they should blow up, take an eye out, make my dog pregnant and cause paint to peel on solid stone thats never had paint.
I love my HF flap discs but I got some of these to compare. They are so cheap I don't care if they don't last that long.

I got mine on Friday - they seem well made. I don't think I've ever had a 120 grit flap disc before. Thanks to the original poster and wkndwarrior29 for bumping it up again.

Arrived in 2 business days. They included a dozen roloc wheels that said they were found in the warehouse as samples leftovers etc . Can’t go wrong with that.

What were the shipping rates previously? That looks like what they were a week or so ago when I ordered.

I saw this for the first time this morning and after reading parts of this thread, I ordered a set. Enter "freemix" and pay ten bucks shipping.
