How Can I Get My Grinds Harsher?

[Simpson]

I just use stone cutting disks.... lean on a lil... not a great angle... like 30-60 degrees..... nearer 30 i guess... always had beasty grinds.... light / medium or deep grinds last for bloody ages!!!! guess im just lucky! run out of grinding disks now though... ill look at metal wilko disks then i guess!!!

Lets see a pic of one of your grinds.

Stone cutting disc

just done mine with one

amazing!!

[Bearded Midget]

i just hold the angle grinder verticle, on my try-all rim my grind has nearly killed 2 sets of pads, and try-all rims are supposed to be pants at holding grinds

i had a look at carles diaz and benito ros's grinds in france, and they were f**kING STUPID!!!!!!!!!!! ive never seen a grind like it, it was so deep, and i cant possily think how u do it

heres an idea how how deep it was, i got a plastic knife and ran it across the rim, and it made a braaaaaaaaaaaaaaaab noise if u can make sense of that, hold sonthing between ur spokes while ur wheel is spinning, a noise like that but on a smaller scale.

haha i just tried the knife thing.. mine must be stupid harsh too

Is that classed as masonry?

yea

So you say the stone Cutting disc is the way to go. Aren't the cutting disc a lot thinner than the grinding discs? I was at the store looking at them and it seems like the cutting disc would shatter with any pressure because it is only like 2mm thick and the grinding is like 4 or 5mm thick.

They won't shatter lol, they wouldn't be able to sell them if they did

Varible speed angle grinder is ideal. i think a slow speed would be better or get air grinder and turn the pressure down

another vote for the stone cutting disc from wilko- tis like £2 i think someone said? anyways...that's all i've ever used and grinds seem fine- shame they don't last longer...but with my new pads they don't need to

yes..they are the thin ones

did you not see fatmike demonstrating his grinding technique on his wheel?! Turns the grinder on and bashes (like a hammer) the rim!!!! Proper violent grind

Then the disc shattered i think. lol lol lol lol

rock pads need a 30/50 degree angle when it comes to a grind ....no need to press mega hard medium grind is fine......i have used stone discs and metal cuting discs ....im using a 2.5mm cutting disc and it gives me a beastly grind......always remember u need to brush the rim fast........

and benito and carlse both use stone cutting discs 4mm wide 70 degree angle

[Nick Garland]

I personally do not take much notice of what angle I hold my grinder at but at a guess 45 degrees or so. Seems to work fine with Koxx Browns and Plaz CRMs, absolutly rinsed my Echo 06 pads but the second set when the grind was dead were beautiful. Back to normal grind and plaz pads now though.

[willy wonka]

i just make sure i have a grinding disc of some sort and turn it on..

then i hit the rim, my grinds seem to be harsh enough

[toyota200x]

Well I went and bought a masonry cutting disc and gridded my rim. WOW........., my previous grind was a year old and the groves were still deep but there wasn't much bite left and the hold was going too. Re-ground with this disc and it turned out very well. I highly recommend the masonry cutting disc.

[Janson]

i use a thin metal cutting disc. i don't really pay attention to angle or pressure, I just grind. It works.

[Muel]

I was using a thick disc, but I won't need to run a grind soon anyway.

I'm running tar for now.

[Mike W]

Get the hacksaw/woodsaw out just make sure your pads are up to it.

[Ash-Trials]

My grinds wore in a day the trick is to push on pretty hard to make it harsh this one lasted 5-6 weeks.

Wow, three pages. This must be my longest thread ever.
