Soooo Lets just say that this thing is tough... It does not want to be sanded, grinded, or anything...
Sandpaper and a whatchamacall it just takes off the aluminum in like dust particles. Grinding wheels are chunking up like no tomorrow... doesnt grind it off.. it eats it up.. like a tinsy bit at a time (IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/html/emoticons/wacko.gif) Anyone have any suggestions? I'll take a pic of all the pieces i've tried... |

oh - let's just tell us WTF 'this thing' is, for those of us who haven't been following along every nuance of the Andyrew reality series... but basically, it's really hard to grind aluminum - it doesn't respond very well to abrasives. it forms aluminum oxide. aluminum oxide is a well-known abrasive... aluminum likes to be machined. a cutting tool in a lathe or mill will make short work of whatever you're trying to do. a carbide burr in a die grinder has always given me good results. of course, i have no idea what you're actually trying to do ... |
