|
|
I'll never pretend i'm a good fabricaror or welder, nor would i ever pretend that my bus is not rusty. But i did some repair in my rear window frame, and i have no clue how to clean them.
First, I have no air tool.
Second, i tried with my angle grinder with just about anything, and nothing can reach it (you can see that i failed on many occasion so far).
a 4 1/2" wheel is too big. even a used cutting wheel that is now closer to 3 1/2" is too big... what else can i try? Is there anything on an angle grinder i could use that can reach that? My flap wheel failed miserably as well. |

HF has a super coupon for it right now at $20.00.
I have a bunch of cut off tools/ grinders and although you have to be careful not to overload it, it is well worth the money. Buy the cut off discs at HomeDepot. _________________ My beetle is not competing with your beetle. I have the yellow beetle in my town. There is a red one, a green one ......
