DEWALT DW8311 4-1/2-Inch by 5/8-Inch-11 36 Grit Zirconia Angle Grinder Flap Disc

I like these but the life span of good grinding seems to be short for the price paid. The benefit though is the ability to grind without grinding hard flat points into the material. With practice you can follow the natural contour of the metal you are grinding. Use these when you want to shape or clean off the surface; used the solid grinding wheels when you need to grind down to get the final shape before using these disks.

I use for trimming goat hooves. Works like a charm. I do a quick trim with clippers, then a finish grind to get the hooves flat. Works great. Had one goat with a advanced case of hoof rot, once treated and stopped, a few trims with this grinder had all his feet back in shape, could not do with my hand clippers as there was too much dead hoof material to remove, this made it much simpler and surprising to me, the goats didn;t seem to mind. All their hooves are much more consistent

Hard to beat dewalt products, I’m hard on grinding wheels and these are long lasting

I was suggested this product for sharpening lawn mower blades, it fell apart before I even got done sharpening one blade. Might work alright for a more gentle application that doesn’t include shaving metal. Back to the trusty grinding wheel.

Good quality

I use this item for wood shaping and find its is not any better than the Ace Hardware version which is $1.50 less. So if you are trying to save a buck then reconsider your options. They both wear out within a half an hour of steady use. I would think it would be the same on metal for rust and paint removal.

These are then light weight discs with a fiber core. The paper abrasive flaps don’t seem to last as long. The price was good and the seller great.

Works

These things are great! They saved me so much work just on my first project that theyve already paid for themselves. You just need to remember to keep moving at all times or these will make a hole in a hurry.

As expected. does a good job, holds up well and lasts long. Highly recommended.
