I'm sorry, i didn't mean that, i have never even seen you before.
But this entry does have to do with my recent purchase of a 6" Buffer from harborfreight.com
The first thing i did with it, was to cut a green scour pad into a circle and place is on the wheel so that i can smooth out one of my stakes.
I used the pad just to get a little more comfortable with the buffer, before i switched over to sandpaper. Kind of like training wheels. I needed a better understanding of how fast the wheel moved.
Obviously Gloves are a must! I have seen posts stating that it is unsafe to use them with a grinder. Something about getting the fabric stuck in the wheel and twisting your arm all crazy directions.
But the majority of the posts are Pro glove.
No Glove no love.
My Gloves have already saved me from some very nasty scrapes.
Not to mention allowed me to hold really hot metals, friction is a terrible mistress.
I had already hand filed down the head of the stake quite a bit before this picture was taken. The scour pad just cleaned up some of the deeper scrapes.
All and all this was a very helpful purchase and will save me a lot of time in the long run.
I still have a lot of filing and buffing still left to do.
