I've got some 3M roloc discs I've been using and they work very well. Can someone recommend other roloc discs? Would like to have an assortment. Also can you use 3 inch on a 2 inch setup or Is there another 3 inch base for those? Appreciate it!!!
You need a flap disc on a 4-1/2" angle grinder...that'll knock out rust real quick. The roloc's work well, just takes longer. Donovan always uses them clean and strip discs too.
I've got some flap discs for my 4 inch grinder. I was just thinking about the tighter spots where it won't fit
Run the 2" holder.why? I'll tell you.you can't run the 2" disk on a 3" holder but you can run a 3"disk on a 2" without issue.
Gotcha. Yeah you can use the 3" roloc's on the 2" arbor...it'll actually allow you to "bend" the disc to get tight spots. Just be a little more careful, and WEAR SAFETY GLASSES!!!! I've had more than one tear to shreds while pushing the limits.
I did some removal of rusted areas and still need to cut a bit more. Here you can see under what I cut out and the piece with the body nut that I will weld in. Question is the lighter surface rust under the new.... should I use a rust converter then dtm epoxy before I weld in new piece or should I take it down to bare metal and just epoxy it?
In my experience, if I’m doing a quick and dirty project I’ll use rust converter and then coating of choice. If it’s really nice I’ll use a rust converter, then grind everywhere I can and then coating of choice. The converter is kind of an insurance policy for me when grinding to clean metal.
Since I'm waiting on epoxy primer and rust converter I figured I would delve deeper into vinyl top area a little
