Cracks aside, that wheel should have been dressed ages ago. Don't let your next wheel get that bad.

Glad you started this thread, OP. I've never used those bristle discs, but I've been experimenting with other discs recently after buying a 2' x 3' piece of 1/2" HR plate and having to remove the rust, paint and scale to get it ready to use as a work surface for a Nomad portable table.

I was impressed by the Scotch-Brite Clean & Strip XT—looks like a purple sponge...of death. That thing goes through scale like it's nothing.

I also like the super-course grit (36, 50) AlO sandpaper/flex discs (if you don't mind the scratches they leave). I wanted to put a thin layer of scratches on this new table top, and then semi-polish down the rest of the surface, and these discs were great for that while removing paint, rust and scale. (The idea is that when the scratches start to disappear, I'll know when I've worked through the surface and can try to keep it somewhat level.)

As someone who is mostly self-taught and works alone, I'd love to hear from the pros about their favorite discs and how they used them.

Also, where are the best places to buy grinding discs? My local welding supply stores are relatively expensive (and not very local to begin with) and I've yet to find a single online store where I can get everything I need.

Best deal I found so far was when I saw this five-pack of conditioning disc samplers (with a disc holder in each) for under $90. Pretty sure it was a pricing error.

Thanks! I'm struggling a little figuring out exactly what you're referring to on google, though -- are we talking about a "multi-finishing wheel"? Or something else? I can't seem to find anything in green...
