Grinding metal is something I have to do every day, and finding the most efficient consumables to do so is a goal of mine. These new grinding discs from Pferd are really something different... ive never used a disc that removed material this quickly before! I tried to make this test as controlled as possible, but theres always room for improvement, let me know what you'd do differently in the comments below!

If anyones looking to purchase these discs, I put a link in the description of the video, and here it is as well. They cost about $6 per disc in a pack of ten for $60US. bit.ly/4blOPup

3m cubitron and tiger paws are the industry standard in oil and gas. As a welder there is no better when your time and production matters. It is that simple.

Which product specifically will remove the most material in the least amount of time while having the longest relative lifespan?

@Hwy929 4 месяца назад

Some of those disks started strong but then stopped once they wore out. Maybe instead of testing for grinding a specific distance, go for a fixed time and measure how far they cut. Run them each for one minute and then measure how much was removed.

@NickMomrik 4 месяца назад

Was thinking something similar. I'm not a metal worker, but would you ever grind that much material? Wouldn't you cut off the bulk and grind a small amount? Those discs look amazing though!

@privateassman8839 4 месяца назад

@@NickMomrik Generally yeah. But sometimes things are in bad positions so you can't get a good angle for cutting, but can for grinding. For example: imagine a 90 degree interior corner, with an interior fillet with a 1" radius. A cutting wheel would not work very well because there's no way to get it flush to either side of that 90deg structure. The only way to go about it is to angle the grinder, and hit it with a grinding disk

@cameronbateau6510 3 месяца назад

What do you consider when you choose those disks?

@jamesd5415 3 месяца назад

@@NickMomrik as already said sometimes you can't get in to make a cut first, but if you are doing a lot of grinding using the edge of the wheel would grind faster and last longer.

@Hwy929 2 месяца назад

@@cameronbateau6510 It's how fast they cut vs how long they last. Depends on use case. Do I want a slow cutting disk that lasts forever, or do I want something that rips metal but doesn't last long? Are you concerned about time and labor rate or the cost of materials.

@tomim7187 4 месяца назад

Wow, that is amazing. Love the Pferd abrasives and they DO last a LOT longer than the ones from the Big Box Stores. Thanks for the demostration/test, Chris.

@arustydodge2111 4 месяца назад

Chris, I have no doubt your test was unbiased and completely fair. Truly love and use Pferd discs. As a one man operation myself, I know people will say in the long run you save 💰by using this product, but for me sometimes I cannot justify the cost, they are pricey. Other brands and “knock off” brands some of which I can purchase 10 to 1 against the price of Pferd. That works for me. Not knocking Pferd, but sometimes I don’t want to pay that much. Loved the review and comparison.👍👍

@MakeEverything 4 месяца назад

Totally get it, I think they are reasonably priced in comparison to other set of discs just to try out, at about $6 per disc, they'll go far!

@arustydodge2111 4 месяца назад

@windmillacres679 2 месяца назад

I've never heard of this brand before. I will definitely give them a try. I learned the hard way that a good disc makes all the difference in the world. But I learned it on my chop saw . I got desperate on a weekend and ended up using some Harbor Freight chop saw blades. You would have thought I had soaked them in oil. Talk about useless. It makes absolute sense to me that a good grinding disc can make a world of difference.

Love Pferd, they are top quality. I’m just gonna call BS on the 60 grit flap disk. I’m not saying it would beat the first disk but no one uses a 60 grit to remove a bunch of material unless they run out of their 37 and 40 grits. I was looking forward to that one. Boo Still love ya love your show! Keep it up!

@chriswisneski6071 4 месяца назад

I would want to figure it why it took 5+ times as long in the second piece with the same disc. Might be something to the weight vs deglazing the disc? And then - looking at the other discs, they seemed to slow down more over the course of the test. There might be a recommended pressure to put on them while grinding to prevent glazing? Then you could do a longevity test - once you get the pressure right to prevent glazing, how long does each disc last? I would be more interested in the differential of the cost of the time vs the cost of the $ to buy the discs. That analysis led me to stop using hard grinding discs altogether, once i found a good flap disc. Guess i just hadn't found a good grinding disc yet. I'll be trying these, thanks for sharing 😊

@dwwoodbuilds 4 месяца назад

Very interesting results!! I like the simple but effective testing setup! Someone below suggests a "how much" per a fix period of time.. I'm thinking $... what's the cost per unit of grinding.. maybe $/mil ground away? Please going with this type of content! thanks again!

@Goalsplus 4 месяца назад

Good point. A commercial shop paying wages might find the saved time in labour out weighs any additional cost but a home shop sort of has free labour so saving money on tools can be more important.

@eric_seguin 4 месяца назад

Are your subscribers mean? 479 likes out of almost 8k views. WTD is their problem. I admit I have watched very little of your videos. Someone stole most of my tools and it's hard to watch other people do stuff just yet. Lost about $15,000 in 2 hits. But this was a great comparison video. I just don't understand people anymore. Thanks for the video. I will save it for when I get another welder and grinder but for now I don't even own a vice or anvil. They got 4 vices and 2 anvils. Gonna be a while. lol

@mikecrane2782 4 месяца назад

Pferd also do a Combi Click disc system for grinders that's worth a look, especially for fine finishing.

@joewhitney4097 4 месяца назад

Great demo, read all the comments that were good suggestions and comments. It appears the number on issue is cost per discs. One man shops or hobbyist will have a tuff time justifying the cost. Second is the availability, lets face it, when you need a disc you can't by standing by the mailbox waiting for it to show up. Maybe when they get their cost down and availability issues trimmed down, more people will be willing to go some of the extra cost. Thanks for sharing.

@MakeEverything 4 месяца назад

I think the cost is reasonable but I totally get it. People take a while to realize that “expensive” consumables make up their cost in time saved! $6 a disc seems reasonable compared to what a normal Consumer pays at Home Depot for a flap disc ($10 each)

@billlawrence9594 4 месяца назад

My only complaint about the test would be that you didn’t use the lead edge of the wheels like in a real world scenario. Aside from that Pherd is a reputable brand, others have comparable if not better in certain products. I like the metabo contoured flap disc on their flat grinder better than any other. The cups on a 7” grinder are great for cleaning a layout table followed by a 7” flap if it saw heavy used.

@EngineerMikeF 4 месяца назад

How much for your used CC-Grind discs? They're better than my new discs. Is there a great Pferd cut off wheel? I use that type of wheel more than any other.

@calimesacox 4 месяца назад

Have Torque Test Channel test these Very fair and has shown to be very controlled test.

@Halfwheelhell 4 месяца назад

it helps to grind where the disc is moving fastest - at the outermost point of the disc. The dewalt appears to be grind near the arbor. No doubt slower than your sponsor - but disadvantaged too. you reifornce my thoughts ar 12:44 when you are grinding off-center. everything after your first run was sub-optimal.

Wonder how they compare to the newly released Cubitron III by 3M

@ErtsenPlayGames 3 месяца назад

Cubitron II already is awesome .... Cubitron 3 is waaay better (like 2x better) you can already get Cubitron 3 they like WOW literally WOW eats metal like if it was tungsten carbide end mill in a cnc --- flying chips not sparks (literally) you can feel it bite the metal like if it was made from plastic i was using fibre discs earlier 982c and 982CX --- the X version is epic - seconds to grind 20mm screw to 0 , you can find awesome disc shapes , types etc if you check what they offer --- its designed to withstand few x more force aplied to the disc , and it needs more force to grind fast , yet its specially designed to work with it and will last 10x longer than any "standard" disc with "standard" amount of force aplied (or belt for belt sander) and won't get shredded if you push something sharp into it (hard screw etc)

@york806 4 месяца назад

Again thanks..

@jeff0117 4 месяца назад

Maybe the same could be said about why a katana cuts better than most is because of the curved edge. Very little edge (surface) means very little resistance. Some might have a better design but low quality which would yield good results. But with great design and equal quality is a game changer. Just a thought. Either way. Seems like a great product.

@ronaldbrown2854 4 месяца назад

Cool review and appears to be a product I would like to try since I weld. I went straight to amazon and nope, they’re not available. Ok, no problem, I go to eBay and there is 1 disc of this description available for $93.28 in Italy and add $17.99 to ship it to me in Texas. Plenty of the cc grind solid variety on both sites but not the item you reviewed. So where do the magic grinding discs come from? And how much should I be prepared to pay to get a box of them once they arrive in America? Stupid Pferd website wants my tax ID number to even allow me to sign up as a customer.

Hi Ronald, Check the description because I put a link to them at Fasttool for $60 for a pack of ten! Ill pin a comment here too

@hugov392 4 месяца назад

I think a better way of doing this experiment would be controlling for grinder power (with a power meter on the mains plug/cable) instead of controlling for weight, i.e. compare new abrasive vs "stone" disc at a load of 1hp / 750W or whatever, rather than both at 5lb of weight. Your experiment shows the new abrasive can hog off more material with less pressure on it, which is great, but my feeling is the old abrasive could also remove material that fast if you put (probably quite a bit) more pressure on it. I don't use grinders all day so the fatigue aspect isn't really an issue, but do often find myself hitting the power limit of the grinder (esp. with a cordless one tripping out).

@chriswisneski6071 4 месяца назад

I wonder how that intersects the glazing issue? How hard do you have to lean on it to prevent glazing, so the whole disc costs as fast, and which discs are even compatible with a cordless grinder, due to the force required to prevent glazing vs the load the cordless grinder would take? I'd do that test with a brand new 'cheapest' red or yellow 4 1/2" angle grinder with the battery that comes with it in the kit. Then you'd have a list of discs that are even compatible with a cordless grinder..

@B_Van_Glorious 4 месяца назад

Yknow, $6 a disc, if it holds up, isnt expensive at all. Im interested to see who says what can do better.

@manuelfloressr.9039 4 месяца назад

@ErtsenPlayGames 3 месяца назад

Cubitron 3 be like NOW ME (except the price 😆 Cubitron II is great - fibre disc 982CX go in metal like in butter and last rly long time) yet overall both solutions are great because even if you think its expensive ....in reality when you start to use it its waaaay cheaper because maybe you pay like 5x more per piece at start ... but it will last 10x or even longer while working few times faster than cheaper solutions
