I'm grinding mild steel welds on my bike to get it ready for plating.
I used this bit this evening. It only lasted an hour or hour and a half. (IMG:http://dremel.com/html/images/products/bits/large/194.gif) Is there a better bit? I've got some abrasive tips for the air powered die grinder, but I don't think the compressor will keep up with hours of grinding. |

Hmm. I've never had much luck w/Dremel for grinding welds. Of course, I'm a amateur welder and I need lots of cleanup to make my work look presentable. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/biggrin.gif)
Anyway, I like to use a pneumatic die grinder with a cutoff disk to slice through the welds to set my depth. Then I use a 4" angel grinder w/abrasive grinding disk and grind down the ridges. Strangely what I've had the most success with is a plain pneumatic single action sander with 8" 25 grit disk. But it eats the metal you're trying to save as well. It's not good at localizing your grinding area. Good luck! Rick |
