    Which to use for what?

    I know grinding welds-flap disc
    rust removal knot brush.

    Are these polycarbide/nylon/wire pretty much the same thing?

    What do you use for what?

    Knot brush/cup--KNOCKING SCALE/RUST OFF OR REMOVING PAINT FROM A PANEL THAT HAS BEEN CHEMICALLY STRIPPED



    Steel Wire cup/disc-SAME AS ABOVE



    Brass wire cup/disc- NOT AS GOOD AS ABOVE WIRE DISCS



    Flap disc- GOOD FOR GRINDING DOWN AND FINISHING WELD SEAMS...THESE WORK NICE FOR LOTS OF THINGS.



    polycarbide- GREAT FOR REMOVING PAINT WITHOUT MESSING UP THE METAL



    Nylon- I DONT LIKE THESE
