8 Pack Strip Disc Stripping Wheel - for Angle Grinders Remove Rust Paint Stripping Wheel Clean Coating Welds Rust Oxidation (4 x 5/8)

Ive never used this style of disc before, only flap wheels. I gave it 3 stars because I had a problem with it fitting on my corded Milwaukee. The thickness of the wheel was too deep for any spanner wrench I had, except for this universal spanner that thankfully would barely tighten the plate. So right away, the disc removed metal no problem. For reference, I used it to remove rust from angle iron before welding, and it did quick work of that. After that, I used it on a brand new outdoor griddle surface to remove the shipping oil, and to make the surface smooth. At first, it did a good job. After a while though, it seemed to get loaded up. When I stopped and looked at the wheel, it did have some melted surface area on it, about 10-20%. Im new to these strip discs, so maybe thats normal, maybe its not. It also embedded plastic into a few areas of my griddle top that then became nearly impossible to remove with sand discs, brake cleaner, denatured alcohol, etc. I pretty much had to burn it off during the seasoning of my griddle. Pros: They last a long time. Good value for the money. Less dust (I think) during rust removal. Cons: Disc was too thick for my spanner to fit on my Milwaukee, AND 2 other no-name grinders. they loaded up about 1/3 of their life.

These are great quality. They fit on the grinder like they should and are well balanced. They are very aggressive and remove paint quickly. They also last much longer than the black ones from the big box stores.

These discs are amazing. They can take paint of metal in half the time. They can clean cement of tools like a trowel without making it ruff. You can also clean wood with it. Its a all in on stripping tool. Highly recommend

These are a great way to remove rust when preparing the surface for welding or painting. I turn to these before ever using a wire wheel or sanding disc. Good functional tool. One issue is the grit designation or lack of it. There is no information on the discs, and two colors: blue and purple. For abrasive products this usually means different grits. Only indication is in the Amazon description which notes 60 grit. Is this for one color or both? Other than that these are very useful.

These attached to my angle grinder very easily. I don’t work with a lot of metal but I do need to strip paint off wood. They work well at doing that. Even though they feel very rough the pads have some give to them so they don’t tear you wood apart. They do remove paint very quickly. I imagine they will work just as well removing rust off metal. I think these are a great price and work well and will be a good purchase for anyone needing to remove rust or paint.

I got these thinking they were like the stripping pads I use with my drill, but these are meant for a grinder. My drill pads are just pads with a hole that you screw down an arbor. Those can be used on either side but applying flat is not possible because of the arbor screw. These wheels have a built-in backing and metal reinforced arbor hole in the backing plate. The downside is they can only be used on one side. The upside is I can use them as a flat stripper with my grinder. I have a HF grinder and found the hole in these fit the grinder but were too small to fit around the indent in the nut. Thus, the force of the grinder was simply on the metal reinforcement band of the stripping wheel. That being said, I had no issues when I used this to smooth down old mortar from removed tiles. They worked pretty well, and perceptibly seemed to not wear down as fast as my other wheels. However, they also started being less effective about half-way worn as the surface became smoother from grinding the mortar. But overall, I really liked using these better than a wheel on a drill.

I tested these briefly on rusty plate steel and a cars 30 year old undercoating . They worked well on both . Therefore I will recommend them with two thumbs up .

So far I think this disk works well. They do not last as much as other overprice disks. But they do the job.

I do a lot of metal cnc plasma work and needed something to remove dross from the stuff I make. These knock it off so quick and last a long time. You are not going to grind like a hard disk or flapper wheels. But these are awesome for cleaning parts and buffing.

These stripping wheels are big time savers. Being able to my angle grinder for stripping and cleaning is great, because it has so much power. These wheels fit my grinder spindle as expected. They install without issues. They do what they are intended to do.
