I am paying over $4 each. | | | | | Joined: Apr 2004 Posts: 888 'Bolter | | 'Bolter Joined: Apr 2004 Posts: 888 | I purchased those a few years ago at about half the price, everything is on sale there at some time, and they work OK.

One thing to know about grinding discs is they absorb water and they get soft. Store them in tupperware or a bag and not out in the open it keeps them from coming apart on you. | | | | | Joined: Sep 2001 Posts: 29,269 Bubba - Curmudgeon | | Bubba - Curmudgeon Joined: Sep 2001 Posts: 29,269 | A few days ago I used those HF discs (that I bought on-sale for less than @$1) to cut spring-hanger heavy u-bolts (using a 10 year old $8 4" HF electric grinder ( a little like this unit)). This is the first time I have used those discs - they worked great. After quickly/smoothly cutting 8 bolts, there is almost no wear showing on the disc.

Have only burned up one 4 inch grinder using them in 2 years. I think it was $12 at HF for the first one. The replacement was $15 or $16.
