Ed, looks interesting. However I couldn't find any independent reviews on it, just "Be the first to review this item".  Beware, nothing seems to work as good as the promo vids!  I have tried all kinds of short cut tools that turn out to be pretty worthless in the real world.  :(

These discs were bought at True Value under rust/paint buster something, ate up 2 of them removing surface rust on a 2x2 sq ft area.($10.99 ea)  Snap-On man talked me into trying a rubber fingered abrasive impregnated right angle die grinder wheel. Very little progress with that also. But, you never know when you will stumble onto a winner! ;)

A while back I got a deal on these 3M discs..they really work and are aggressive. My concern is generating heat because they work so good. Did try a small area on my 33 and it really removed the original paint without a problem....guess I just need to do several small areas to be safe.

  I have used both styles, the disc you have pictured  seem to generate heat and the paint gets soft and gums up and fills the voids after awhile. The other picture sammons has posted you can get those in different colors which represents their grit and will leave scratches in the metal.
