TIG welding is an art form to me. I learned to use both TIG and MIG
welders, although my welds look horrible compared to the highly skilled
and certified welders I've known over the years.

A friend who's a metal artist and a good MIG/TIG welder told me that's
what grinders are made for. :-)


Good point, I will remember that.


You want 2 angle grinders. 3 would be nice also. One with a flap wheel,
and 1 with a cutoff or grinding wheel. Saves loads of time when welding
saving on changing grinder stones or wire brush. Get a harbor freight
grinder for one and a good grinder for the other. Use the HF grinder for
the least used.


I have a couple of nice grinders from when I used to work on cars... One
is offset, the other straight... Thanks, I will get new blades for them...
