Product Details
Choosing the Right Grit and Material
For rapid stock removal, choose a lower grit (36-50). For blending and finishing, 60 grit is a versatile middle ground. Zirconia is the preferred abrasive for stainless steel and high-alloy metals.
Safety Tips for 7-inch Grinders
Use the disc on tools with a 7-inch guard and ensure the arbor size matches (5/8-11). Always wear eye and face protection, and never force the disc into the work piece.

3x faster
I compared this to my old fiber discs and it really is faster. It doesn't wear down quickly. The 60 grit leaves a smooth finish. I'm not going back.
