What best means among these seven
Best here means the strongest match for ordinary mild-steel work: weld tidy-up, rust, and deburring on a 125 mm angle grinder with a 22.23 mm spindle. We weighted review count harder than a perfect star average, because a 5.0 from four reviews is a thinner fact than a 4.6 from a few hundred. We also wanted a maximum rpm on the listing, a profile you can read, and a grit field that agrees with the title. Zirconia scored above aluminium oxide for steel. A mixed pack lost points when Amazon stored only one grit.
That rules out Gmozkrn at £12.99: Type 29 aluminium oxide, 60/80/120, 5.0 from four reviews, no maximum rpm, and a review title that says the grits are not marked. MIDO prints 12,200 rpm but only 16 reviews, at £24.99. Flintronic at £12.99 is the Type 27 aluminium oxide mix, 4.3 from 43 reviews, a 22 mm bore in the title, and 13,300 rpm. That flat profile is on the T29 vs T27 flap disc page.
The pack with the deepest review file
The Merryland 10-pack of 40 grit T29 discs is the top pick. It is £12.90, rated 4.6 from 330 amazon.co.uk reviews, with zirconium grain and a listed maximum of 12,250 rpm. That review count is the largest in the set. Buyers describe discs that grind metal and run quieter than a rigid grinding disc. One buyer ordered ten because he expected them to wear.
Forty grit is right when a weld bead or thick rust is still proud, and wrong when you only need to knock the shine off a panel. The materials line names stainless steel and does not say the grain is iron-free, so this is a mild-steel pack unless you have read the flap disc for stainless steel limit. At about £1.29 a disc you are buying a consumable with a speed figure, not a lifetime wheel.
When the 10-pack is the wrong grit
The Merryland 80 grit 10-pack is the same £12.90 and the same 12,250 rpm line, rated 4.7 from 259 reviews, in zirconia alumina. A reviewer stripped rust from a 30-year-old car rear beam. Another took paint off. David John Worth wrote that the disc seemed to wear slightly quicker than some alternatives. The title says T29. The profile field prints ANSI B7.1-2010, so you trust the title for the shape and you do not treat that field as an EN 13743 claim.
Choose 80 grit for blending, paint and surface rust. Choose 40 grit when you can still feel the bead. The 20-pack of 40 grit at £21.90, 4.6 from 221 reviews, is the better money when you will stay on 40 grit. Richard Mills wrote that those discs fit a Bosch angle grinder and last. James Smyth used them on welds. About £1.10 a disc is the best value if the carton does not sit in a drawer.
Mixed packs when one grit will not finish
GZKTY’s 20-pack at £18.99 is the mixed carton we would take before the others. It is zirconia Type 29 in 40, 60, 80 and 120 grit, rated 4.6 from 119 reviews, about 95p a disc. The grit field shows only 40, and the extract has no maximum rpm, so you read the disc label before the first spark. How many discs of each grit is not stated.
MIDO at £24.99 prints 12,200 rpm on the same four grits, with 16 reviews. Flintronic states the split, four of the 40 grit and two of each finer grit, and a reviewer said they come off paint and do not last long. Gmozkrn leaves out 40 grit. One weld then a blend points to GZKTY. Ten welds point to the Merryland 40 grit 20-pack. Fitting them, and when you bin a glazed disc, is the how to use a flap disc guide.
Common questions
Which pack should I buy first?
Start with the Merryland 40 grit 10-pack for welds and heavy rust. Move to the 80 grit 10-pack when you are blending. Open the 20-pack of 40 grit only if coarse grit is all you use.
Why is the 5.0-star pack not the winner?
Gmozkrn is 5.0 from four amazon.co.uk reviews. Merryland’s 40 grit 10-pack is 4.6 from 330. A handful of perfect scores cannot outweigh a speed left off the listing, aluminium oxide, unmarked grits, and no 40 grit. We say what the stars are. We do not treat four reviews as a settled rank.
Is the cheaper per-disc pack the best value?
GZKTY is about 95p a disc and Merryland’s 20-pack of 40 grit is about £1.10. The Merryland carton wins on value for a single grit because the speed is printed and 221 reviews describe that one disc. GZKTY is the better value only when you need four grits and you will check the rpm on the label in the box.
Do any of these claim a UK lab test?
No. The scores on the comparison are an editorial reading of amazon.co.uk listings in October 2026: stars, review count, rpm, grain, profile and price. EN 13743 on the disc label is what FEPA expects. These listings were not treated as if that mark had been checked on the product.
Can I use the top pick on stainless steel?
The materials line includes stainless steel and does not say the grain is iron-free. Where rust later would show, the title is not enough, and the disc must not have already cut carbon steel.
What if my grinder is 115 mm?
None of these seven discs is the right diameter for that tool. A 125 mm flap disc belongs on a 125 mm guard. We removed 115 mm packs and small die-grinder sets from the comparison so they would not look like alternatives on the results page.
