Just watched one of those challenge Tommy Walsh programmes on Discovery Real Time. He needed to clean some old bricks of paint and used a large grinder that had a disc with ribs/grooves on the face which ran over the face of the bricks and cleaned them. Looked great, anyone know where to buy such a disc?

Probably a flap disc
Not one of these ?

Nope, it looked like an ordinary masonry cutting disc except the face of it had diagnol ribs going across it.
Was it like this?
Was it dished with a depressed centre?
cheers, Pete.
I think this might have been it:

*Everyone's* looks bigger. It's just the direction you're looking at it from. ;-)

Should only be looking at the wall!
Grinding discs are a great way to ruin brickwork. Paint gets in the pores, and at 11,000 rpm a grinder disc of any kind is far too fast to get into the pores, unless it just rips them off. Totally the wrong approach imho.
