Hi everyone, I'm new here and thought I'd ask all of ya'll this question to act as sort of an ice breaker. So with all your experiences, what is by far the best cutting disc you have used?

For me, its the Smith & Arrow discs works just great. It's cheap and durable for its price.

So, what's yours?

Welcome aboard Eddie, glad to have ya.

I don't know how to answer your question, I've never used a cutting disk to break ice. How's it work?

I thought ice breakers were big old boats? Seriously I can't remember the name of the disks I use off hand . I get quality ones through my welding supplier.

Welcome Eddie-

Harbor Freight Genuine Chairman Mao Brand Cheepo discs. About $.50 each. Second best is the Genuine Vladimir Lenin Brand Grindudown Rusky discs, about the same price.

The best for me are the thinnest, .040"x6" ,cut faster, strain grinder motor less, less nasty fumes and dust.

I prefer either Walter Zip Cut or Norton, I have found them to be far more superior than most.

Local Welding supply carries the SAIT disks they work really good and seem to last longer than the dewalt ones from lowes.

Hello and welcome eddiebrug
At work we use Pferd brand grinding and cutting, sizes are for cutting, 5" dia. 1mm thick, 9" dia. 1.9mm thick. They work good. I don,t buy 'em so I don,t care about the cost. Wouldn,t waste my time with a 4" grinder (I call them welding grinders cos thats about all there good for)

Cheers Michael

Here in Mexico the best is AUSTROMEX.

i use my deepcut portaband saw mostly and my 71/4 cold saw from harborfreight i finelyneed to replace the blade after a year so it was worththe money in my opionon but then again every one has one to

Somehow made in china cutting disk are better than the north american brands i used, go figure.

i dont care wot the brand i get given allsorts so i dont complain! but i recently got some very thin ones and i reckon they are much better

I use Bullet brand mostly and like has been said seems like the cheapos work well for the money.

All i use is Walter zip cuts they are a few more dollars for a pack but they go a long way and i have never had one fly apart.
