50 off for £16 ish about 34p per disc i hadnt used them till today and i was very surprised used one where normally id have used 3-4 cutting 3mm plate

shame my grinders letting go had it in bits earlier trying to chase a "new noise " but no joy. it still works but holding it at arms length with your eyes closed hiding behind some 3mm ali the cuts arent so accurate
I thought they looked familiar, I've been using these for the last couple of years. I pay 75p each from my local Boyes store, but will get a batch of 50 from this chap now. They are good discs and cut 5mm angle for my trailer no probs and the Blue Spot Grinding discs are just as good. Dave

i had 2 last year ! lol i bought it from the very responsible and trustworthy seller on ebay had one that failed then replaced next day with another same issue so had my money back as the mrs had mentioned she was preggers n the cash would come in handy. must have been a bad batch from china but the first one was great while it worked. back to killing grinders now as mine finally let go today brushes have gone and cannot think for the life of me where i put the spares
