OTHER TID BITS.

Wire wheels on the electric grinder work great for that cleanup of alot of stuff, such as , seam sealer, old greae and grime, gutters.....

I also have a Hard grinding disc for my MAC 8" air grinder and this works gret for many many welds that need smoothing, pinch weld seams, stitch welds, frames......

The carbide bits are a god send in my workd, you can use them for just about anything, from cleaning up a wled in a hard to reach area to smoothing out that corner that nothing else can get to, to creatinf a nice radius in a transition area.

Keep all of you old 3" air grinder hard discs around, you never know when that one that is almost worn out to nothing will be used next, but it could be the right diameter for a job that you are tring to get a smooth grind in or transition.

Even worn out ROLOCS come in handy, when they wear out, they tend to bend,well this is perfect for when you are trying to blend in a radius or doing a corner, they hardly bit and more pressure can be put on them.

Flap discs for the electric grind have their purposes also, new ones are great for tight 90's, and much more, but sometimes that old used one works better for edges, jsut trim it down some on the edge and you have a brand new, but smaller flap disc!

I hope this helps some ppl out in the hobby world, there is so much more yet to learn, but this is a start.

Later and happy grinding James
