A couple of pics of the grinder wheel things we've been using to strip down to bare metal. Anyone know if these are good/had any experiences?

I used a similar disc on my Charade to take the paint off, it worked well.

They work well however when attached to a grinder, unless it is variable speed, they "thin" the metal if you press too hard.

They are excellent, but use the next size up.

3M strip and clean discs - basically like those, but I agree, upsize....the 3M ones are really good, not too harsh, paint stripper is good...use the strip discs to take the remainder off, they are a bit exy.

We sell The Brumby and the SIA brand at work and no-one and I mean no-one in the industrial trade uses the Brumby as it wears out twice as quick. The SIA ones are about $13 for 100mm, $16 for 115mm and $18 for 125mm. I only use the SIA ones they work so well. I also only use them on a variable speed grinder as the surface speed on a 125mm is faster than a 100mm.

So yes they work great.

I used them to get corrosion off the surface of the alclad skin of an aluminium aeroplane body. They were a bit harsh and scratchy, but they were very effective. The surface has been painted so it doesn't show that the alclad has been reduced to non-alclad.

Hi

You really need to be aware that warping of the panel can occur if you use to much pressure or stay in one place to long.

As is the case with any mechanical abrasive method, including blasting.
