I used a Harbor Freight grinder with a 4 in diameter grinding wheel. Ground them down them flush!

I've been using a cheap HF spot-weld drill bit to separate the spot welds, and that is going faster than I expected, especially since the Spitfire sheet metal is so thin. But does anybody know the best way to grind down those little discs of metal that the drill leaves behind? (My drill bit is like a little hole-cutter.) I need to grind them flush, without cutting too deeply into the second, remaining panel. BTW, I'll probably spring for a HF electric spot-welder to attach the new panel. Thanks again, Doug _______________________________________________ [email protected] Donate: http://www.team.net/donate.html Suggested annual donation $11.47 Archive: http://www.team.net/archive Forums: http://www.team.net/forums Unsubscribe/Manage: http://autox.team.net/mailman/options/spitfires/[email protected] [demime 1.01d removed an attachment of type image/jpeg which had a name of DSC08026.JPG] _______________________________________________ [email protected] Donate: http://www.team.net/donate.html Suggested annual donation $11.47 Archive: http://www.team.net/archive Forums: http://www.team.net/forums Unsubscribe/Manage: http://autox.team.net/mailman/options/spitfires/[email protected]
