Nice to see another brand of hard wearing slitting discs :)
My current batch have been quite good & are hard wearing ( Can't remember the brand )
Use them quite extensively for quite a few years now :)
That said, they still give me the proverbial willys using them :o :o

I bought these expecting them to be crap because of the price.

Very surprised. I cut through two pieces of 40mm mild steel bar a couple of days ago and the disc didn't reduce by 1/4". Been using them to cut chassis plates,diff plates etc and still got ten left. A definite reccommendation from me.

In my job i buy 200 @ a time for about the same price as GAZ found http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/1mm-Cutting-Di...item20b75b28c1, you need to check that they are classed as INOX as this is the correct type for stainless and last a long time cutting mild steel.

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
:eek: 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 :p

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
