Makoz Posted November 7, 2007 Share Posted November 7, 2007 I stopped using wire wheels on the bench grinder a few years back, mainly due to risk of those loose wires spearing around. I have too many inexperienced students in the workshop to be worrying about that, so I've opted for a 3M abrasive wheel. Its like a black open rubbery material with abrasive compound in it and removes paint and rust quite quickly. The downside: a bit expensive considering they wear away in use, and they don't form a good edge to get into corners. Basically not as effective as the wire ones, and while its possible to have something grab, they are safer to use. Regards, Makoz Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
