Where to get those "Flapper Disks" for my grinder??

[Eric M.]

I discovered those "Flapper Disks" for grinding down welds from Eastwood, problem is, I can never find them when I need to reorder. Anyone have a good source for these?

Thanks,

Eric M.

Home depot, Lowes, Harbor freight, Tractor supply. Just about any store that carrys grinders should have them (atleast around here they do)

www.mscdirect.com

They have a catalog of over 4000 pages. Every do-it-yourselfer should have this catalog.

I've found that Home Depot has the best prices on 10-packs of them....at least around here.

Flapping

Two companies I use over here are Wurth and RS Components but most proper welding suppliers have them. They're great. I use the 60 & 80 grits. Only thing is they dont get into corners so well as normal discs, but on the flat and external corners... beautiful!

Eric.. Norcal Airgas...Sierra AIRGAS should have them where you live...
I use Norton brand,, they are spendy but have several grades,,, the good ones hold up really well....
you can get them at harbor frieght,,,I dont recommend theirs they are junk...

they make magnetic squaring clamps.. they are faily cheap (harbor freight) or better ones at the welding supply,,, I like the american made ones,,, the magnets are stronger
I use BESSEY clamps for my work with an ACORN table for big stuff...

but its really just some experience with the welding gun... neither of the above is needed... if things are truely square when tacked (properly) they shouldnt move enough to get out of square...
Ill bet youll find you arent getting things as square as you think... or they are moving before/while you are tacking them and you arent rechecking...
This is a basic fab technique.... practice makes perfection

Good luck
