Flap disc's,whose last longer?

admin

Just wondering what flap disc's people on this forum use most and what's best bang for a buck. Using Walters,find them acceptable, what do you use/recommend. Main use for me is smoothing and finishing,40_60_80 grit. 120 is finest I have.
Reply:Angle grinder flap disc? I just picked up a sait for $12, and a couple off brand ones for $5 each. I started using an off brand one first and it is surprising me how well its holding up! I will have to look at the name when I head out in the shop again, I got them from fleet farm (I believe they are nortons).I wasn't real impressed with the CGW (orange) ones.
