Ceramic flap disks for angle grinder.
I was in Bunnings this morning and noticed they some ceramic flap disks and was wondering what they were like and if they were worth the extra money, $17 for a 125mm diameter disk from memory. Anyone used them at all?

No I haven't used flap discs, but ceramic sanding discs. They do last a lot longer before they clog up. Is there much of a price difference? Also might want to shop around, might be a cheaper alternative to bunnings.

I haven't used them but know someone that has and based on his experience that's what I'll be buying when I run out of my current supplies.
Bunnings prices, the Josco 127mm are $15 ea, and The Flexovit Max 125 mm( also ceramic) are $19 ea.
Smith and Arrow have 125mm for $30/ 5 pack, or $39 /10 pack (all with free postage) although if they last that long you may never need 10 of them.
I wish Smith and arrow would sell packs of mixed grits.
