I prefer the quick release mandrel, makes changing wheels much faster |
Re: PO has me PO'd
for some reason my narrative went away between pictures
This is about the tightest arc you can cut with a 1 1/2 inch cut off wheel, I like to sneak up on it, leaving a little white paint to see my line The wheel generates a lot of heat quickly, so touch the metal, if you can’t hold onto it, then your cutting too quickly and you may warp the metal I generally cut right, with my contact area of the wheel at 4 o'clock, don't force it as you may explode your wheel, not pretty It's a slow process but far more accurate than my big dangerous angle grinder, that thing scares the begeases out of me |

Was able to bend the flange closer to a 90 with my Cresent wrench Now have to figure out the 45 degree bend |

Don't do it like me, now I have to build a template Saw the great Chip Foose do it when he put boxster head lights in a Europa Cut your patch panel first, then use that as your template |
Re: PO has me PO'd

Re: PO has me PO'd
Wish I had the tools -Greg has, but in the mean time I'll have to use a chunk of railroad and my body hammer
