[TheForge] OT -12v motors

Boring leads to complacency.  Complacency leads to additional accidents<G>.

I have found that a judicious application of wire brush does very well as a light sander.  Particularly if I just want to get rid of some surface scale prior to welding, or get rid of a raw cut on the end of a piece.

Dan Tull says that a person should dress both the end of the piece he/she just cut off, and the end of the piece going back into the stock pile.  I do this almost religiously.  It only takes once or twice to grab a pointy burr on the end of a piece bare handed, to get the message.  It is a much easier learn if Dan tells me, than if I poke myself a couple of times, and learn on my own<G>.

All the best.

The grinder, the buff and the power wire brush, especially the latter,
are a nasty combination of
dangerous and boring!
