2" mini angle air grinder & discs

admin

I'm talking about one like this.I believe Chicago Pneumatic and IR make their own versions. Does anyone have a source for the discs at good prices?
Reply:Most automotive paint stores carry different types. None are really cheap that I know of. I like the 3M roloc brand. They stay on the backer pad better than the ones that just snap in place. They come in a variaty of grits and also different scotch brite type of pads.Miller Syncrowave 200
Reply:You are thinking of the wrong type. I'm not talking about "sandpaper" discs with the 3m Roloc or velcro padding on the back. That tool takes actual grinding discs with a depressed center that are ~1/8" thick just like you would find on a typical 4.5" grinder but 2" instead. I believe the hole in the center is 1/4". It is a rigid disc.Last edited by pierre71; 02-20-2010 at 07:57 PM.
Reply:Get a tool with as much power as you can.  I use either the sanding discs that Ian-MetalSmith is talking about (typically 50grit), 4"x1/32" cutoff discs, or a variety of rotary files.  I have a 1/4hp IR, and it's easy to bog down.  I'm saving up for a 1/2hp+ Dynabrade or Dotco.
Reply:Norton  makes a 2" disc, only one though. Called a type 27DC2A60 66252835632DC2A80 66252835633DC2A120 66252835634Those are all the part numbers, I dont know the difference, might want to call them.If you cannot convince them, confuse them.         Harry S Truman

Reply:Thanks for those part numbers. Drillspot lists them for $11 - hopefully that's for the 5 pack as the norton catalog says and not each!I've used one previously (the matco version of the sunex in the amazon link) and loved it for heavy removal, especially for mill scale. Like the abrasive ability of a 4.5" grinder but lighter and appropriate for small jobs.I have an IR 1/4" right angle grinder & sanding discs but it just doesn't work well for the heavy stuff. It's not an issue of power, just the paper wears, clogs quick, or does nothing against mill scale.Push comes to shove I'll have to find a matco guy again. Looks like these things aren't that common.
Reply:Northern carries that grinder.http://www.northerntool.com/webapp/w...3552_200403552The only wheel they list is Northern Industrial.http://www.northerntool.com/webapp/w...393+4294944356Lincoln SA200, HH135, Lencospot, HF80 Inverter, Rockwell 11x35 lathe, HF drill mill, Kama 554 tractor w/ FEL & BH, Belarus 250AS, lot's of Chinese tools
Reply:I guess we're talking about cutoff discs?Personally, I'm not too fond of using them on a small air powered right angle grinder.  The nut that prevents the gearbox from rotating has a tendancy to loosen on the little grinders.  Not something you want during cutting.  In a pinch, if nothing else will do the trick, go for it, but be prepared for stuff to loosen up.HF sells dedicated cuttof grinders which come with a shield (same manufacturer as IR if you look closely).  The shield is very handy to have.  The cutoff discs have a tendancy to fray badly when you bind them in a cut.  Lot of stuff flys around.Use a very light touch when using these wheels.Check your LWS, mine has them for around a buck a pop.  They'll know what you're talking about when you go in and ask."Any day above ground is a good day"http://www.farmersamm.com/
Reply:No, not cutoff discs. Not surface conditioning, sanding, polishing, but grinding. The second link Brad posted is exactly what I'm talking about. Just like a 4.5" grinding disc with depressed center, but 2". Thanks for the find, Brad.

Reply:check ebay u can usually get them i lots. and cheeper
Reply:Whats the arbor size on that ginder?     3" may be a little big to put on there, but Sait makes a 3" x 1/4" depressed center w/ 3/8 bore.    I've used them on a die grinder.    I'm kinda curious how many free spinning RPMs also?
Reply:3" disc would be too big - the guard is fairly close to the disc.monster - can you point me to a specific seller or auction number? I tried searching - most are the 2" sanding or strip-n-clean discs, not grinding discs. Found one hit for the grinding discs at something crazy like $8/each
Reply:they used to be on there from time to time i dont no any sellers right off ill see if i can find any..
Reply:this seller  khr_impex  has them 25 disc for around 30.00 if i read it right i need to get some to hope this helps
Reply:Type in roloc on ebay and you can get 50 for around $25.

Reply:Sorry but i think your confused on what you need.  I have the same setup as the picture you put up and i use roloc disks on mine.  The only difference is my angle grinder is a mac tools one.
Reply:lol, I'm not confused about what I need. I already have the grinder (the mac version as well). I already have some discs as I pictured. I know the discs I need. They are NOT roloc - roloc discs have a provision glued on the back so they can be threaded onto the reciever / pad.I'm not sure what mac grinder you have, perhaps they make more then one. These discs are hard (not paper you can bend) and are held on by a nut. There is a hole clear through the middle, no provision for threading on the disc itself. The disc I put a picture of is proper for the grinder. Here is a picture directly from mac's site, with the discs I mentioned right next to it if your still not convinced.There may be an adapter to put roloc discs on the grinder that you are using, but that is not what I'm doing. Since these are rigid hard discs, they mount directly to the grinder without a backing pad. Changing the disc isn't as simple as twisting it off, you have to unthread the nut.
Reply:Hey pierre, how is this angle air grinder working out?  I'm debating one of these instead of a 4.5" grinder because I need the control using only one hand.  You able to find the grinding discs?  How do they hold up?Lincoln AC225 and CartLincoln WeldPak HD and CartOne hand
Reply:I bought mine from a Mac Tool dealer with the mini grinder discs and know exactly what you are talking about, it is a great little tool for tight places, so yo could look for a Mac Tool dealer who is owned by Stanley tools now I believe or a Matco dealer, chances are they are all made by the same mfg company.Ron
Reply:Excellent - thanks.  I found the site:  http://www.mactools.com/productdetai...-grinders.aspxWhat is the difference between an angle grinder and an angle die grinder on their site?Lincoln AC225 and CartLincoln WeldPak HD and CartOne hand
Reply:2 different animals all together the angle is shaped at a right angle and runs at a much higher rpms and usually has to collets for different size ginding tools.
Reply:Ok. I got confused since they list a 2" right angle grinder.:2" Angle Grinder (AG200)But I see got the die grinders here:  http://www.mactools.com/productdetai...angle-die.aspxI guess they just build a 2" angle grinder to compliment their 4.5" version.Lincoln AC225 and CartLincoln WeldPak HD and CartOne hand
