    At least you get a backing strap with that test. Makes it almost impossible to fail. Plus overhead stick is easy really. Just shove the rod in the whole time lol. I'll have to take that test again in September more than likely along with a 3g. Then I'll get to do a 4G flux test too. Woooh lol

    I lost track thousands of dollars ago.
    That's all we use great disks and a killer price. LOL 10 or 15 "bulk"! I like to have a stock of them so 300+ an order is what I normally get.

    These are amazing and even more so on SS http://www.lehighvalleyabrasives.co...-8-ceramic-flap-disc-type-29-conical-fd4-5-cg
    For only a dollar more I highly recommend them.
