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. |

Carbide cutters for a die grinder are the best I've used.. they really hog out the material, you can litterally carve out the bead from an inside corner (like inside the front trunk weatherstripping groove for instance). Unfortunately they're pretty expensive. They also spray you with little metal shavings that are VERY sharp, and get under your skin quite nicely.
