Diamond cutting discs

I found 115mm diamond discs in Poundland today for £1 ea. You may be interested.



Regards Capitol


What brand? I might grab some.

Er, no thanks. I like to complete a job with all my limbs intact.

Something about that brand leaves me cold.

A bit like Draper. Could be adequate for the money or rubbish regardless.

Curious. I might upgrade that to interested if I saw what their useful life was. There's a _big_ difference in the hardness and wear life of diamonds between good (monocrystalline) and the low-end polycrystallines. The diamond content of a disk also varies a lot.

Draper is _nothing_ like Rolson ! Draper have _some_ standards.

I'd agree they're probably better. But *some* Rolson stuff is also OK for light use. I just can't imagine diamond cutting discs falling into this category.

Hold on sir, I'll just check, "Shaaaaaron, the gentleman wants to know if the diamonds in these (them) discs are monocrystalline or polycrystalline . . . . . . . . " :-D

also has them for a pound. There are a number of lines they do for a pound, maybe a couple of hundred. But postage is 8 quid.
