just ordered 2 dewalt 3" for 20 shipped seemed like a good deal. Gonna give it a go. Unfortunately my older milwakee grinder has a 1/2-13 arbor. Most are 5/8, or M10. Searched high and low for an adapter, not much luck. On the prowl for a new grinder now. Nice to have 2 anyway.

lots of good tips in here guys thanks. I have a flat knotted small wheel, but thats about it! Probably should invest in a cupped one anyway. They work better on flat surfaces I take it!

If I only had a 9" grinder. 4 1/2 is all I have hence "time consuming" aspect! Maybe I could borrow one. Cost of a 9 inch whire wheel probably more than a new sheet of steel!

I have a roughly 30"x48" x1/4" piece of steel i want to use for a welding table top, it has pretty heavy surface rust, no pitting though. Wondering what the easiest way to go about getting it clean? Obviously a sanding disk would work, but very time consuming. Was thinking spraying wi...

thats a nice cart there! I need to build something like this very soon!

another pic of the saw in raw form since the others are cut off.

sorry the pics are cut off, not sure why. Dont beat up my welds to much guys, I am a begginner. I know alot about the processes, as I have a ton more time to read than practice, but I try my best, and I try to implement the things I read into my practice. My welding has come along way. I have had we...

I have been thinking about this project for awhile now!! Finally got it banged out! I have access to a large bandsaw at work, but it is tough for small fab, as the blade is wide and aggressive. This will be a perfect addition to the home shop. Picked the saw up off ebay for just under a benjamin! st...

Hi there, Just wanted to take a moment to say hello. I came across this site a few years ago while doing some welding research! It has been my go to site ever since! I love Jodies vids, and the abundance of information buried in the site! I am an electrician by trade, but I love to dabble in all the...
