    I rely on my 4 1/2" grinders for flat areas - 1 w/ grinding disk and second one w/ sanding disk for final finish. For hard to reach places I rely 100% on my air grinder w/ carbide burr. I have been using/abusing one of these for 8 or 9 years and it is still as good as new. I had a ball one too but got it so hot the silver solder melted and the head flew off the shaft! This shape is so versatile, I never bothered to get another one.

    Get better at welding and you wont have to clean your welds up. Better yet get better at welding and get a job doing it so that you dont have to advertise on messageboards.

    Try welding nikes to a honda. That's where it gets real tricky to clean a weld.

    Thanks for info. As a beginer welder my welds are not that great and need grinding. Sometimes I use the a 4 inch grinder held a right angle instead of flat. Very carfully. And thanks for the Harbor Frieght link. Carbide grinders cut much smoother than the tool steel type with less chatter. Also I use a burr lube. A soapy sort of stuff.
