Dremel grinding wheels

darkember · Post by **darkember** » Sat Feb 22, 2014 4:31 pm

Could someone link me where I can find decent grinding wheels for a dremel that can tackle stainless steel welds. I can only find aluminium oxide general purpose wheels but not sure if they will touch SS.

I have found this but believe it to be too wide to get into my header pipe

Get some blue stone attachments for a power drill even then it takes hours .
The fastest way I found was to use a 40 grit sanding wheel http://bit.ly/MNMaym but you will need a few !!

Are you tackling the welds inside the start of the headers ?

Yep. I used a decent light pink disk today which got me 2/3 the way around before it wore out, just need to find 4-5 more of those as that was the only one I had.

Lidls had some packs of multi tool bits for sale back in Jan, worth having a look in a local store or three to see if they have any left.

Failing that Maplins do a full set of bit's for about a tenner.

Just checked it...

But is on offer now & then...

Mmm I just had a nose around eBay to see what may be the solution and it's really annoying that they rate the grinding discs by colour. Why can't they give it a grade like wet n Dry. Every manufactures colours are different

So is Pink course or fine or should I say 180 grit or or 320

I would be tempted to use a grindstone on an electric drill rather than the Dremmel. First you going to get a lot more power and second the grindstones are cheaper and easier to find and come in all shapes and sizes.

Just been checking out Machine Mart, they have various kits for Dremel type tools, reasonable prices.
