Does anyone have more than one grinder?
I was thinking that I really need a fine round "shaped" wheel with curved edges to make work faster, and a very fine narrow wheel to cut close shoulders, in addition to a standard course wheel just to remove excess stock. I could probably use a metal wire wheel just to clean off paint to.
Unless someone here has managed to figure out a "quick change" method for wheel swapping???

I use a standard two wheel bench grinder (C-wheel, F-wheel), I use it to do all the rough work and then use a dremel to do the fine stuf

I use a standard two wheel grinder. One side has the regular width wheel, and the other side has a thin wheel.
After that, if more detil is required, I will use the dremel or files.
You can get pretty close with the narow wheel, so there isn't much extra to take off.

yea iv got a large wheel and a wire brush wheel on the other side..
I tell you, that wire brush saves me a lot of time.
The first few picks i made i sanded it all by hand, before i realised that the wire brush could be helpful.
Haha it took me ages to get all the paint off with fairly fine sandpaper because it just clogs up so fast.
yeah a quick changer could be handy, who'z the entrapeneurs (spelling) around here??
