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. |

Here's what I've got for the bike:
Electra Bike Springer Fork 26x2.125 Electra Hotster Red Stripe w/Flame Tread Front Tire 24x3.00 Electra Fatti-O Rear Tire (It's friggen HUGE FAT!) SRAM Spectro P5 5 Speed Internal Rear Hub with Coaster Brake (shifter will get mounted on seat tube and cables hidden) Brooks B-66 Honey Colored Leather Saddle (Old School Style) Tioga 1" Threaded Headset 68x113 Truvativ Giga SL Bottom Bracket Truvativ BMX to Euro BB Conversion Kit Electra Cruiser Bars Cinelli Quill Stem Adapter Cinelli Groove Stem 3T Stem (don't know which of these I'll like best) Shimano Deore LX 570 32 Hole Front Hub I still have left to get: Truvativ Stylo SS or FireX SS Crankset AlexRims DX32 24" x 39.1mm Rear Rim AlexRims DM18 26" x 24.2mm Front Rim Some flavor of pedal - I'm leaning towards Crank Brothers Egg Beaters Ti The whole frame will get Copper Plated - as thick as they will allow - without any clear so it can age and tarnish Handlebars & springer will get Blackened - I've gotta find someone to do this, it seems like a cool process I'm not sure what I'll do with the rims and hubs. The rims come black and one hub is black the other is clear aluminum-probably Nickel Plated Cranks will either get Blackened or Nickel Plated that's it for now. I hope the burrs come in soon, I've got a loooooooot of work to get the frame ready. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/smash.gif) |
