I have been running charger plus grinding wheels for a little over a year now and am a big fan!  Just the other day I bought a box of them from Gases Plus,  I always get my consumables there.  This box of wheels had a bronze color to them and they don't hold up like the ones I am used too.  What is the deal with this?  Did Charger change the charger plus recipe?  Also, what type of wheels do you boys run?  Thanks in advance.

I'm  been using the charger plus too. The last ones I recieved in July/08  were still silver & grey color. I hope they did't change cause they cost 2X as much as a cheapo disk, but last about 3X as long.  - WS

Are they the same grit & hardness, or isn't it printed on the wheel ?

What type do you run?

I used to order my wheels from ENCO (1-800-use-enco  or enco.com) by the box. Don't ever recall a logo on them and most likely did not have one. They did wear down a bit faster than Chargers or Sait, but were 1/4 the cost and was an excellent bang for the buck!
I had no problem supporting my local (Gasses Plus in Wyoming, dealt with them 20+ years) welding supply house, but I had a family to feed and a business to run. The little things like 100 wheels, 100 clear cover plates, etc and any other misc. consumables adds up. Plus when the cheap skate next to you runs out, you can sell them to him at a proffit!, a six pack, whatever.
