@@ProjectFarm I'm very thankful to my parents for being able to afford having me learn three languages still as a kid, even though i live in a 3rd world country. If it wasn't for me having english as a near-natural language, i'd never even dream of coming across content like this in my country's main language. To give you an idea of how screwed up things are here, major companies (even international ones, like DeWalt and Makita, which we have here) make shady deals to manufacture products of generally poor quality and to not allow any newcomers into the competition, forcing the population into buying substandard products for sheer lack of better alternatives. Importing anything is a major hassle and because of all the taxation, it ends up being prohibitive if one plans to use imported products often. Sometimes i get a bit desperate to leave but i get reminded of our worthless currency and just how little we actually make... There's no escape but dream of a better life through the internet and youtube. Thank you, Project Farm!

[@gionder]

@Swampy exporting also has taxes and our shipping infrastructure is quite arcaic and inneficient. If one wants to "expedite" something out, we usually go to UPS or other international company, even though cost is a major concern. As an example, i recently bought some supplements from an american heatlh supplement retailer. They had three shipping methods: the slowest one that doesn't include any pre-paid taxes cost me 20 dollars. The middle one said that i was supposed to get my products within three weeks, already counting the time the parcel would spend in customs. That'd set me back 73 dollars. Yeah, major difference. And the most expensive promised to fly through customs and arrive at my doorstep within a week, since it included all taxes pre-paid. My order was worth 112US$. This shipping mode? Alone, 130$. So yeah, i guess i'm not going to choose that one

[@tjohnson9051]

I do a lot of body work panels and make various things out of 1/8" stock. I grind the weld first with a 36G grinding wheel then blend with 60G or 80G flap wheel.

*DO A WORK GLOVE TEST* some gloves resist heat better which one would be the best for the best price

[@ProjectFarm]

Thank you for the video idea!

[@jaakkopontinen]

Yes! Piercing, friction, cutting etc. I worked a few years in yard construction. Concrete products just killed gloves. Like by the dozen. All those little sharp shards of crushed rock in the material plus the ammonia etc from the thousands of bricks... The only number I looked at when making glove decisions was, in the end, the cut resistance. I think it was because the worst the concrete could do wasn't actually the sandpaper-like scrubbing but instead the particles that were a tad bigger that cut the glove material. And yeah, technically all sandpapers "cut" grooves the size of it's grain - it's the many juxtapositioned cuts that loosens material. But the cutting I'm talking about are from specs like 0.5mm in size or so. Huge in terms of sandpaper and the average surface smoothness of landscaping concrete products.

[@CraigSmith568]

I really like that you use different weights and times. I have found from using these products at work for 30 years that any grinding, cutting, and sanding disc it is best to let the disc do the work and not force it. They last longer even though they may cut a bit slower. You may be cutting slower, but by the time you stop to change wheels the total time ends up quicker. Also you put less stress on the tool which lasts longer too.

Another outstanding comparison. The last two flap discs I bought were Dewalt and they were just as you say, overpriced and so-so performance. I’m not a big dewalt fan due to a bad experience with an expensive hammer drill that was hardly used and just outside the warranty it decided to let out the blue smoke. After being denied warranty I took it apart and it was a clear manufacturer defect. Improper assembly caused wires to get pinched and the insulation was damaged just enough to short circuit. When shown photos, dewalt basically gave me the middle finger. I now buy Makita drills and hypoid saws, Milwaukee grinders, Bosch routers, Sanders, and table saws. I’m going to buy a flap disc tomorrow and will be going with diablo.

[@TheFatblob25]

Interesting test to see how flap discs hold up relative to each other on rust/scale.... In general if you want to extend the life of any flap disc or sanding disc always remove the rust & scale surface first with either a grinding wheel, sandblasting, rust dissolver/ acid or (my preferred method) a diamond grinding wheel. Iron oxide is quite high on the Mohs hardness scale, & is an abrasive in its own right, Emery powder. You can see how glazed the edges of each flap are after the second test, & why they don't cut nearly as well in the 2 min test. Once you get to clean steel a fresh flap disc or sanding disc will cut beautifully.

[@mikemorgan5015]

Neat test. One thing to consider about flap disks is that they are designed to wear at a rate that sheds worn abrasive and thus advances to new sharp abrasive. Generally speaking, good wheels will be thicker with more sandpaper to wear away. Their longevity and effectiveness is in the quality of the abrasive and backer that wears at a balanced rate. Some of the worst wheels are ones that the abrasive wears off and the backer remains. Touching them up on concrete can quickly expose fresh abrasive and make them cut better.

I was particularly impressed with this set up, where did you find the red contraption you used for this set up? I particularly like how it not only pivots but can also be clocked at different angles, super cool but absolutely no idea what that came from, lol

Warrior also has 40 grit and zirconia based discs.

[@ProjectFarm]

Great point!

I would have liked to seen the flap discs from Amazon. Benchmark Abrasives brand. They seem to hold up pretty well and at $2.00/each, it's hard to beat the price!

[@ProjectFarm]

Thank you for the video idea!

[@watcherwatchmen7785]

I'd second a test for this company. Our welding instructor told us to buy from this company since we go thru a lot of disks in class and he thinks it's a really good brand for the money.

[@TheOnlyRedNeckGeek]

+1 for Benchmarl Abrasives. Been using their zirconia flap discs for a while now, and they way outperform the HF discs I've tried. I've also used their sanding belts and bimetal recip saw blades with good results. BTW, they have frequent sales, and the flap disc assortment of 10 was FREE with my last order. Hard to beat those kind of prices/offers.

[@p71collector]

A lot of people must of watched this because my local Harbor Freight was almost sold out of the Warrior 36 grit discs! I got 'em cheap for $1.49 each (limit 5) with the coupon.. Excellent comparison video Project Farm!

Thank you

[@jaw3895]

I did want to offer a video idea. I’ve gone through a lot of 3x21 belt sand paper!! I bought a few different grit Warrior brands when I picked up my sander for a deck job. The adhesive tape seems to give out, or the belt rips if I would go over a knot in the wood, thick chunk of paint, or the head of a hidden screw that was not countersunk. I did notice a material difference between the blue “ aluminum oxide” and brown “zirconia”. I did get more life out of the blue, and had no tape fails, but rips in every belt. Would you mind explaining the difference in these materials, and if the warriors are just weak compared to better brands? Thank you for all you do!!!

[@ProjectFarm]

Thanks for the video idea.

Please someone correct me if this has been done by PF before, but best double sided tape could make for an interesting experiment

Can tell you the gorilla glue tough and clear mounting tape is a monster and holds like a beast, have used it to hold on a wireless door bell outside, and my son's pop socket to the back of his phone because the adhesive that came with it didn't hold to his abuse.

Project Farm another good brand of commercial grade flap and wire wheels made in the USA and pretty affordable by the box is Weiler.

Myself I just run the edge on the steel, which happens anyway at angles buffing up a weld in a corner etc. Where I like using them most is with aluminum, stainless, clean up work, when you don't want to throw a bunch of sparks... and they'll work on wood if need be.

[@davidmc8110]

@@ProjectFarm Hey, ya know it usually gets trimmed down naturally anyway. Unless all you're doing is flat work, and then you can just turn them on their side now and then while you're working. By the time the disk gets a little smaller and so worn it's really not worth all the effort to bother too much... in my opinion.

[@BillTheTractorMan]

I thinking testing the Benchmark brand abrasives would be awesome. They sent me a trial pack awhile back and I have been hooked on them. Prices are fair and the disks hold up well in my experience. I would like to see how they hold up to your testing.

[@nosebeersforbreakfast]

could you test winter diesel fuel vs summer diesel fuel and see if there is a difference?

[@RenaxTM91]

Depends where you live, every other station has its own blend and especially in winter, real cold places has more "anti-gel additives" (paraffin etc) than warmer places, but generally most places where you can get to a cold place on one tank of diesel or it might be cold during the next month has some... More cold equals less diesel and more additives. generally theese additives results in less chance of freezing/gelling, but also a loss of power and worse fuel economy. Testing different fuels from your area might help you out slightly, but odds are that all the stations in your area has roughly the same blend as the climate is roughly the same. Also testing it versus the summer fuel at the same station has its own problems, storing diesel fuel over time without it degrading is not easy, it won't degrade much over half a year in a plastic jug but enaugh to affect the testresults.
