Re: Processing tack weld seam on sheet metal - grinding

Thank you. Those see through disc are really nice! Okay, so removing most of the weld using a grinding wheel in vertical position is not done? I found this video, that doesn't grind vertical too, "confirming" what you're saying: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=T8oGIa0c3hY What would the id...

Hello, Greetings from the Kingdom of Belgium. I'm mainly interested in car body panel/metal sheet welding. I have no experience at all except for a small course of Mig welding.
