Nooks & Crannies & Grinding, oh my!

admin

Howdy Folks, I'm building a metal rolling ball sculpture and have a need to get into those small places to do some surface grinding for that "brushed" look and to get rid of the paint, etc on the old metal I am using. Naturally my grinder with a flap disk is too big to reach into those nooks and crannies. Is there a tool or method out there that will let you reach these tight spaces?-dennis -- Beekeeper with a Welder --

Reply:I'm looking to get that grained surface finish look rather than grinding weld joints per se. I have a Dremel with many bits but none that would "brush" the metal surface and get it to look like the larger areas I've already gone over with the flap disk, if you know what I mean...-dennis -- Beekeeper with a Welder --
