Q:  When will I get my item?
A:  Orders are shipped same or next day Monday through Friday.  US orders usually take 2-3 days but allow 6 for
delays.  International orders normally take 6-10 days, but can take a little longer due to customs delays.  If shipping
time is going to be longer, I will notify you.

Q:  How much is shipping?
A:  The shopping cart checkout will calculate it for you, if you are a US buyer.  International purchasers need to
contact us for proper shipping amount and invoice.

Q:  Do your shrinking discs come with a backing pad?
A:  If you are buying a 4 1/2" kit, yes it does.  Currently I do not have any 7/9" backing pads to offer.  If it does not
state that it comes with a backing pad in the description, then it is not included.

Q:  What type of backing pad can I use for your shrinking discs?
needed for mounting, as the discs have plenty of strength by themselves.

information if you would like.  If you allow permission, I will gladly post your story and link on our website for others to

Q:  What speed of grinder do I need for your shrinking discs?
A:  For the 9" discs 3000-6000 rpm work great.  I personally use an old heavy 6000 rpm grinder.  For the 4 1/2"
discs, most small grinders run at 10,000-12,000 rpm.  They will work great.

Q:  I paid and have not received my item, or I am unhappy because.....
A:  Please contact us about any problems or questions you have.  We strive to keep our customers happy and our
reputation at the top!

Q:  How do your shrinking discs compare to others on the market?
A:  Many people prefer the smooth disc over the wavy disc for several reasons, it is safer with the flanged edge than
the "saw blade" like edge the wavy disc has. The ridges are not necessary; they create unneeded vibration and
noise. The shrinking happens because of the heat. The ridges can actually lead to premature failure and cracking
due to wearing thin only on the higher area of the disc. And also is price difference. The other disc has some various
sanding materials and discs included (which most shops already have) and they throw in an instructional video and
they call it a kit, and charge well over $250!!, compared to our much lower prices.  My demo video is free to watch
and it is so easy to learn to use, the included directions should be enough, if not, email me for further assistance.

Q:  How can I learn more about metalworking and using these tools?
A:  A great place to learn is www.metalmeet.com.  Search the forums and ask questions, there are many nice people
there sharing about the art of metalworking.
