[everlastsupport]

Still waiting on the trail kit myself. But the price was right, I will keep waiting.

the setup i got did not come with any literature, other than a postcard thingy.
havent fired em up yet, once i do i will post my thoughts on them VS the 3m disks i normally use, i tried some HF ones last year that absolutly sucked. (got them for free, so i didnt complain, just tossed the leftovers away, they were that bad.

Thanks to the OP as well for posting this. I just requested the trial kit as well, and look forward to seeing how well they compare to the lws ones and the HF ones.

Lowe's carries the adapter in a sample kit as well as Harbor Freight.

anybody ever tried the metabo flap wheels? I had to visit a plumbing supplier for some parts for the air system at the shop and they had a fresh new display of metabo grinders and abrasives. I bought a couple of 60 grit flaps. The flap wheels have the built in threaded mandrel like the blue paint eater disks so that is kind of nice. I think they were about six bucks each though but they are really about the best quality I have seen thus far. Even better than the norton ones I think but it's just my opinion.

I've got a metabo. In addition to the threaded arbor, another feature it has is a flat grinding surface (not "cone shaped".) I think I prefer the cone shaped actually. It was pretty pricey - $12 I'm going to say. (They did have identical versions with the 7/8" hole mount by the way, for a couple bucks cheaper. I figured since I'm already spending the big bucks, might as well go all out.) Spur of the moment purchase decision. The built-in 5/8" threaded arbor is kind of nice now that you mention it - I like how with it, the threaded shaft of the angle grinder doesn't stick out as far (so can't possibly mar the work like it can with shallowed mounting systems.) I don't find any benefit in the abrasive material over harbor freight. I also don't find any benefit in the balance or general construction. So IMO you are paying a lot for the name. I think my next flap wheel purchase will be more harbor freight zirconias. I have no problems with them really. You've got me thinking about the 5/8" female threaded arbor being a nice feature now, though...
