Magic weapon (tool)
« on: January 03, 2008 - 07:54:13 PM »
Anybody have a special tool, grinder, etc. they use for grinding welds in real tight areas? My 4.5" grinder is great, but a little large and awkward for finishing things up. I am having to do a lot of rust repair around the drip rail/ rain gutter above doors, and there is only about 5/8 of an inch in there, and pretty tough to get the angle cleaned up. :clueless:

It's a great delima I run it too. I use a dremmel tool with a grinding tip in tight areas. Similar to the ones you use to port and polish heads, but it is slow going.

That one looks downright nasty.  Where can I get it or what is it called?

I picked that one up at Carlisle last year at one of the stands. Sorry I don't have a lead for you on it. It works really good though. It never seems to wear out.

Here in Australia those pieces are called Crabide burs for die grinders.  I use them all the time, great tool. :2thumbs:

I saw some at my local ACE Hardware. But each ACE carries its own store format so they may or may not have em.

You can order carbide deburring tips through Grainger.com.  I will have to check with them to see if i can get something small enough to fit in those nasty little areas.

Eastwood has the burrs also, I think I got a set of 3 with different shapes.
I found a cut off tool with 2 wheels on it works great, but even when the wheels are small you cant get those corners. I know this is a NO NO but I removed the safty shield(not without my goggles on) & that got it into more spaces. the double wheels worked great on my plug welds, cuts fast & better control. I like to credit who i got the tip from but the names not comming to me, if it's one of you guys, jump in & take some credit, it works great! Rich. :2thumbs:
