Please Read before emailing with a question.
Q: Do your shrinking discs come with a backing pad?
Q: What type of backing pad can I use for your shrinking discs?
A: Most large grinders come with a rubber or plastic pad that is intended for flexible sanding discs, and have a nut that is tapered so it will sit flush with the surface when tightened. These work great, and can also be purchased from most autoparts, farm, tool and home improvement stores. It does not have to be the full size of the disc; it is mainly needed for mounting, as the discs have plenty of strength by themselves.
Q: I love your tool, and would like to tell you about it.
A: Great! Feel free to write a response about our tools and include pictures and/or your business/website information if you would like. If you allow permission, I will gladly post your story and link on our website for others to see how well it worked for you.
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.....
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 . Search the forums and ask questions, there are many nice people there sharing about the art of metalworking.

As an International purchaser, I ordered Wolfe's Metal Fab planishing hammer as a new product on the market, not really knowing what to expect.
The other affordable planishing hammer options available being very limited, I was optimistic when I placed my order.
Wolfe's Metal Fab Planishing Hammer performs as well as brand name models of larger capacity, well beyond expectations of a model of such compact size, (for those who know how to use them).
The included radius die set are a bonus, as comparative models do not include these dies as a package.
It is well finished in powdercoat, and is durable.
The mounting tabs are solid, and it doesn't move when installed on a steady base.
I have hammered through finished welds with no damage to the hardened dies, that as a package are included.
For a shop planishing hammer, I would have no hesitation in recommending Wolfe's Metal Fab Planishing Hammers to anyone in the market as a piece of affordable and worthwhile shop equipment.
The other planishing hammer options available out there are much more costly.
