Sungold Abrasives 74901 Very-Fine Non Woven Surface Conditioning R-Type Quick Change Disc, 2-Inch, Blue (25/box)

I KNOW that “3M” (Scotch), “VSM”, Klingspor”, or perhaps other well-known brands will perform.Every time I try an “off brand”, with regard specifically to “Roloc” scuffing discs, I am disappointed. I keep hoping to find a better price in another brand, and consistently find what I already knew…Pay three times the money for ten times the performance. Don’t be cheap, you will waste your money. Buy the good ones, and treat them well, as an investment, and you will be satisfied.With that said, allow me to digress: I purchased a Milwaukee M12, battery-powered 90 degree die grinder to supplement my pneumatic one, when my airlines were otherwise tied up, to use as a secondary one.It QUICKLY became my primary one. I have used it as my primary die grinder for aroun two years, now! It should be used with 2.0 or 3.0 amp/hour batteries (not the standard 1.5 a/h ones) because it consumes the smaller-capacity ones quickly.If you are using these 2” discs, I absolutely recommend trying this die grinder. It has a slightly less continuous service capacity than pneumatic (if it were a welder, a 90% duty-cycle), but is vastly more versatile, and easy to articulate because of the absence of the airline! If you want to push the 90% “duty-cycle”, I’ve found that using two 3 a/h batteries will overheat, requiring a brief rest. Using a rotation of three 2 a/h batteries causes the exhaustion of the battery before overheating. The fancy, higher-capacity batteries and this tool, by Milwaukee AND the name-brand pads you know and trust will make for a pleasurable grinding experience.

These are well made and better than the super cheap knockoffs. However even the fine grade is pretty rough and seem to be geared more towards removal of heavy paint and corrosion than more delicate tasks such as gasket removal from steel or aluminum engine components. I'm sure I'll use them up eventually for something or another. However I think I'll stick with 3M for most of my needs.

I use these on my auto restoration projects and find them to be very good. Price is competitive for a consumable product. I tend to stay with medium or finer as the coarse are really abrasive and remove a good bit of metal.

i build steel guitars and handle a lot of aluminum which needs to be surface conditioned before polishing to mirror finish. the first one i tried was a total flop as the abrasive material peeled off like there was no tomorrow, and this was on aluminum! i doubt seriously i got a couple of minutes of use. this proves the point you get what you pay for as name branded disks can be used on many pieces before giving up the ghost.to add insult to injury, it took two weeks to get these so it is not worth the wait.i never heard of sungold before so it was worth a try at least but this will be the one and only try. besides, i can get better disk in days not weeks!!!

Excellent for fine cleanup without removing material. My main use is automotive cleanup during removal/installation and welding mock-ups and cleanup.

For the price, these are just fine. They are, however, a little stiff and don't conform as well as the Harbor Freight equivalents. The discs are much harder and feel more like a grinding wheel than a scouring pad. This makes them quite a bit more durable, but not as good at getting in tight spaces or polishing uneven surfaces. They also seem to get gummed up faster than the Harbor Freight ones.Overall, I'll keep them and use them when appropriate, but won't purchase again.

If you know anything about using any version of these then you know how much they cost. Let me know if there a better deal out there than these because I can't find it.

Would recommend my friends Have used for five them have worked really great will definitely purchase again
