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

Im currently working on a 1936 Chevrolet. The car is a older restoration that Im stripping the paint on. Im also redoing the interior and taking the sound deadening material off the inside. Not only do these strip paint great, they also make easy work stripping the sticky residue left behind from the sound deadening material. It last fairly well with light pressure on the paint. The residue from the sound deadening material does eat them away a little quicker. Fortunately the price of these are great compared to anyone local. I can purchase this 8 pack cheaper than two locally and they last the same. Definitely cant beat price, quality, and quantity. Less money I can spend on consumables, the more I can put into the project. When working on project vehicles, you never hear people talk about the price of consumables during the build process. Between sandpaper, sanding disc, cutoff wheels, welding supplies, welding gas, etc, you could easily have another grand tied up in the project. Its definitely nice to save some cash whenever you can.

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.

Was welding up some brackets using steel I had laying around in the garage. It had obviously oxidized much over the years so I needed to clean it up. These stripping wheels made quick work of cleaning the surfaces so I could weld them up.

Impressive. The grinding material seems to be glued or fused to the arbor plate. I need this type of glue for everything! With that said - the grinding material sticks well to the plate it is attached to which of course is important. And what is this grinding material? Description states high-strength wear-resistant fiber mesh and combines resin elastomer and high-quality black diamond. It certainly does the job and does it well. All you need is a light touch to start. Work smarter - not harder. The grinding material seems to be flexible yet sturdy. Takes some finesse to get it done right. I easily removed the rust from entire metal leg I show in the picture and the grinding disc showed minimal loss of material. These should last for quite a while. I used the blue for removing the rust because I believe the purple discs are for heavier jobs. This was magically answered in the question section - not the description. I had to tighten the grinding disc to my angle grinder by hand. My tightening tool does not reach into the depths of the disc because of the thickness of the grinding material. I wore gloves and turned the wheel with the grinders lock on until it wouldnt turn anymore. I am confident it is secure but will keep an eye on it. Reverse this procedure to remove the disc. It is a perfect fit for my tool. No material other than rust went flying. I thought the material might grind off but it was not noticeable at least. Eventually I am sure they wear down. It looks like they might even clog up but that will depend on the material you are grinding/polishing. Of course, always use eye protection and unplug your tool when changing wheels. I consider myself very aware of possible hazards but lost the tip of one finger years ago to a silly mistake. Luckily, I have nine more fingers that still work fairly well. Always be safe. The product appears sturdy and well built. Very well built. These will make some hard jobs easy. A must have for the toolbox. They are a great value for an eight-pack. Neat product.

These do work for stripping/grinding paint pretty rapidly, but they are not an exact fit for a typical angle grinder. They do not fit on the shoulder of flange like most other discs do. Instead it merely slips over the shaft with a loose fit, hard to center, which makes them spin slightly off-center, which is sort of dangerous. Surprisingly it didnt equate to much extra vibration on the tool during use. In my photos you can see the product, and in my last photo, Ive compared it to how discs are supposed to fit. I did brave using these despite not being able to get it perfectly centered, and they did perform the job of removing paint from wood very fast. Although they did remove paint quickly, I had to ding the rating a little because of safety aspect of not being able to center these perfectly. My summarized assessment of this product is that these will do the job, but there are certainly safer products available.

great performance at a great price. I’m all stocked up now for the next big project!

It just came in today and in no time I was able to remove all of the loose paint from my houses foundation. The next sunny day it will be ready for fresh paint

I was so glad to discover these for my angle grinder. Ill never sand paint again...these just easily remove the paint in seconds. Big thumbs up.

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 .
