[TheForge] Abrasives for Stainless

[Ray Miller]

Walters Abrasives makes the greatest blending/polishing cosumables I 
have come across for stainless or carbon steel.
They make two versions. A series of drums of successively finer grits, 
and cotton polishing drums with polishing liquid.The drums come with 
5/8" - 11 thread nuts attached. The drums are designed to be used on 
Walter's heavy duty side grinder. I have been using my Metabo side 
grinder and it's working fine.

They also make a quick disc version where the successive discs are 
attached with velcro to a pad. Depends on area to cover, frequency of 
use, etc.
