Welding Tips and Tricks

I've had the opposite happen to me a few times, the disc would become hard to twist off. I was thinking my problem was caused by me forgetting to change the air direction valve on my compressor.

It's like the toilet flush. If your down under it goes the other way!

You use a dunny? Y'all have running water, right?

Runnin down hill. Don't drink down hill from your neighbour in the morning.

Reminds me of my class on hydrology... The teacher had warned a fellow about drinking from a spring below a subdivision. Fellow argued that the water was sweet. Teacher said, "There are diabetics on the hill above you, then."

apparently a pool thats 18 meters long can contain up to 75 litres of Urine.... On a regular day. More during Kindergarten swimming or seniors aquarobics.

Well, this thread degenerated pretty quickly....

Thats how it goes around here.

I have used these a bunch in a friends shop on auto body work. Where you really don't want much heat in the metal. They seem to run a bit cooler and last longer than the flat ROLOC discs. And I have had the same issue with them coming off if you decelerate too quickly. Not something that I use all of the time, but they are handy.

Yep, these things are great, I really like them. As I mentioned they make my little right angle air grinder perform really well and it is just so handy to use. I tried just putting a wrap or two of electrical tape around the threaded stem to make the fit in the mandrel more snug and it made a big difference. No more disks flying across the room. Time will tell if it holds up for long, but so far so good!

I had the same problem with the 2in discs and finally gave up on them. The other day in Canadian Tire I bought a set of 4 Roloc fiber discs - the type you clean heads with that included a new adapter. This adapter is concave aprox. 3/64 in. almost like a suction cup and a softer rubber that you can easily dent with a fingernail. You have to press in like a child proof cap to start the threads on the disk but it works perfect. Now I have to hunt around the shop to find all the lost flying discs.
