Suggested Tool End Seam Weld

[Lionelgee]

Hello Rob,

Thanks for the tip about the cut off wheel on a die grinder. Last night I found a mandrel online that fits the 3 inch cut off wheels and works with a die grinder - as you suggest. I also saw an online article - which I can of course no longer find - that warns against using cut-off wheels on die grinders. It might have been because of the lack of safety guard.

I tried one of the "Multiple Purpose" tools which has a plunge cut-blade and a flush cut blade. The result was pretty underwhelming. I reckon I should have collected some ants and put some honey on the welds. Their efforts would have been more effective in cutting through the welds.

Thanks for the suggestion about epoxy. I was thinking of some Sikaflex products when I previously typed in "Sealant".

Kind regards
Lionel

Hello Rob & All,

I found that article again - it is from Norton Abrasives - Accessed 25th August 2020 from https://www.nortonabrasives.com/en-u...us-combination.

Yes, it was about how the die grinder with a cut-off wheel fitted does not include a safety guard.

Kind regards
Lionel
