Silverline 585478 Polycarbide Abrasive Disc 115 mm 22.23 mm Bore

I used these fitted to an angle grinder. Results are superb. I used to strip lacquer from alloy wheels that really were in a shabby state. So much so, that I was looking at replacing but thought I'd give these discs a go as the far cheaper option. Abrasive papers had no effect so I wasn't hopeful. These discs stripped back to metal with little effort. A 17 inch wheel stripped back in four minutes ready for painting. Little wear to disc and no particular coming loose. Obviously wear safety glasses and leather gloves as these are tough and would cause injury if not used correctly. I would not hesitate to buy again and recommend with confidence.

My Edwardian cottage has the window sides and cils glossed over. I removed most of the paint by hot air blower and scraper and bought these pads to finish the job off, hopefully leaving smooth clear Bath stone. They seem to work quite well. The only issue is that I needed to remove the safety guard from my angle grinder as the discs were larger in diameter than what I usually use. Secondly, I couldn't tighten the disc in place with the edge grinder tool and so had to make one of my own tool using a piece of wood and two nails. Otherwise, can't complain. I expect the entire project of 5 windows and two doors will use about 8 pads in total.

I had to remove paintwork from old doors and part of the old paint was a dark wood varnish which is difficult to remove with sandpaper.However, the Poly-carbide Abrasive Disc did get through this layer and was especially useful on moldings.In the end I used it in combination with a heat gun/scraper(for the larger areas).I liked the control that this abrasive disc provided as I was able to use a less harsh removal depending on the pressure applied. I think it could also be used for shaping woodThe Disc doesn't become blocked in use.

Used to strip paint of metal leaves a clean finish and doesn't take much metal away. Works well for smoothing grind marks out Used on an old stone window alls removes paint and allows you to put a new smooth surface on the stone. Works well on bricks as well to clean cement or concrete off.Doesn't fit well in a guard so will need to remove until it's worn down a bit.Reasonable wear on flat surfaces. Anything it can catch on though makes it wear down quickly.Would definately recommend for stripping/cleaning bricks though good but of kit.Shop around though as there are better bulk deals about if you have a big job on.

I have been burning through quite a lot of these abrasive disks recently whilst trying to remove paint from a brick wall. These ones performed just as well as the branded version (branded same as tool I was using) I was previously using to aid the removal. They last a reasonable length of time, they didn't split or fracture during use and were effective until I had destroyed most of the polycarbide.

Ive only begun using this disk. My other one from a different manufacturer fell apart very quickly near the centre and was dangerous/useless after half way thru.This has been very effective without removing steel material and without digging too far into the base after the paint and rust is gone. It does seem kinda smooth and is heating the work piece up if I stay in one area too long.One minor gripe: The chuck that holds the Abrasive Disk is threaded in on a 1/4inch arbor and will loosen if you work with the drill reversed. My other one was pressed on and I could aim dust in any direction by moving around the work piece or changing the direction of the drill.On the plus side this comes with a free 1/4inch arbor and I might be able to put another disk or something in there later on.No reason to give it less than 5stars. I dont expect much from Silverline but this is a cut above the quality I normally get.Update: Has it been four years already? Used this on the Fiat, the lawnmower and a free aluminium greenhouse. It has only worn down halfway. It manages to wear away about as fast as it might get gummed up with paint or soft aluminium oxides. Just right for cleaning of rust and paint with no damage to the healthy metal. Glad I gave it 5 stars.

Needed something to strip paint and rust of old bike frame... If this is what you need to do then buy one of these now!! I cannot recommend enough these strip paint and rust without damaging metal.. Got the frame paint and rust free within a couple of hours.. Much better than the old paint stripper method.. Ideal size as fits in drill..

Used this to strip a metal frame on a wooden trailer. The frame was in bad condition and this disc cleaned off old paint and rust with ease, very quickly to. The disc is totally worn down now, but worth every penny to make such short work of a challenging job. I will be buying another.
