[TheForge] wire brush

[Rick Korinek]

Most angle grinders can be used on speed controls to slow them down.  This
is a great strategy for taming the wire wheel, when necessary.

The face shield is highly recommended because the wheel throws out rust,
scale and other projectiles in addition to the wires.

When I taped Bill Epps at BAM he said to use an electric buffer which is
slower RPM which doesn't throw wires as bad

Wonderful Tool -- Most Dangerous Tool in my shop.  Pay attention to 
everything Larry has said.  I always use my grinder with a wire brush
two 
handed -- this helps a lot.  Put the item you are going to clean up in
the 
vise -- unless it is something really big like a steel fabrication.
Since I 
have more than one angle grinder I keep my wire cup brush on the weakest

one -- the one with the smallest motor -- still plenty of power for this

use.  As I said at the start a very useful tool -- just be careful
getting 
to know it -- and above all you must have eye protection !!
