Discs for Screwfix angle grinders

I dont know what youre referring to, but there needs to be no direct path for particles to get into the visor, so probably not. A lot of direct vent goggles are sold, with small holes in the sides: these cause many eye injuries, it is important to use indirect vented ones.

Ear defenders are a must too.

cheers, Pete.

What, with an angle grinder ?

A bit late in on this one. I bought exactly that grinder one two weeks ago to cut my slate floor tiles. I used the Classic Blue diamond blade 115mm.

(Screwfix 71994)

It is a little heavy and the power switch manufacturer obviously didn't get much of the 6.99 price tag, but it worked just fine for my purposes. Besides, it is cheaper than renting one for a day!

If I was doing anything different, I would have bought the screwfix branded blade (72480), as the one I bought didn't wear at all, so I could have saved myself 5 quid on a lower quality item.

Probably because you don't get flues (or soil pipes) that small, or domestic water pipes that big! Most people would get away with a 110mm (for soil pipes and concentric flues), a 45mm or so for waste and 25mm for copper pipes.

It's a Ferm. In general I have got on well with my Ferm stuff, I have a router, an angle grinder and a cordless drill by Ferm. They all perform quite adequately. Note that I also have some more professional stuff, e.g. a Bosch 1300 watt router (not 'professional' but blue and supposedly much better in Andy's eyes at least) and some (possibly intermediate) Skil stuff. I'm really not convinced still that expensive necessarily means better.

Yes. It is loud enough to cause hearing damage, especially with sustained use. Especially on some tasks. Ear defenders/earplugs are cheap.

You need about 6mm more than the true diameter of the pipe.

117 does the soil pipes and is good enough for the flue pipes. 52 does the nominal 40mm waste pipe

The reason I had to get a 64mm made up for me by a manufactuer was for the Keston flues (56mm OD).
