    Now that is a true Statement.

    Go with the biggest that will fit while still being practical to get the sheets to the table.

    much rougher when your feeding plates to the table .

    Lenox hole saws are definitely one of the best out there. Old Starret were good too but not sure they are available anymore

    I dunno if they're any good but I only paid $10 so they're worth a shot lol. Got 10 mixed grit flap discs from benchmark abrasives. I'll give em a shot soon. Used code "freemix" just pay shipping.

    Yes, please review them. I hate trying out new brands of discs. I'm usually very disappointed.

    I've heard good things about them on YouTube but who knows how many of them were paid to do so lol. I'm guessing these will last me a while since I'm not welding every day. But I'll put them to the test when I build my welding table soon.

    Came with three 40 grit discs, three 60 grits discs, three 80 grit discs, and one 120 grit disc.

    Ive used quite a bit of the benchmark abrasives. Been pleased with them so far. I honestly dont know how they compare to every brand out there but for the price ive been happy with them. Ive primarily used the 60 grit ones.

    I know i picked up that same pack as you but cant for the life of me remember if i used those discs or not since they arent in my cart lol.

    But be interesting to hear your review as well on them since you probably have exposure to other brands I havent used.

    I will say the "paint and rust" discs are from them are .....meh. But i was trying them on car paint so might work better in other applications.

    I really only have experience with whatever home depot has in stock. What I do know is that I just paid about $7 for a single 80 grit diablo disc from there. Even if I pay full retail without the coupon at $23 for 10 discs I think it's still a better value even if they dont last quite as long as the diablo discs.

    Yeah I only know some "basic" brands. Dewalt, harbor Freight, Makita, those types. If i remember right even the HF ones were like 3-4 bucks each vs i can get the BA ones for 2-3 bucks a piece and found they last just as long if not longer.

    Diablo definitely makes some nice stuff! But comes at a price too lol

    Good to know. These should last me quite a while then based on how little I use them as of now lol. But I'm sure they'll come in handy when I build my table and 4 link my truck

    I’ve been using the cutoff wheels and 60 grit flap discs from benchmark abrasives for the last year and they’re great. They might not last as long as some of the big name brands but they’re way cheaper and last plenty long for what they are in my opinion. I have them bookmarked on Amazon for whenever I need to order more
