That may indeed by a good kit. However when you start working with proprietary stuff, the cost rises exponentially. Every stage you went through can be done with off the shelf universal supplies and 1/5th the price. Pferd does make good stuff, but I try hard to avoid proprietary things like sanding pads when reliable alternatives are available.

Of course, the special backing pad definitely locks you into the PFERD brand. But I’ve not been able to find something that’ll let you grind so flat. Price always becomes an issue but certain jobs demand a certain type of product. Thanks for watching!

This was a great video to learn about a new type of tool (which I'll now order), but also the 'how to' - thank you for posting!

@branchandfoundry560 2 жыл бұрын

The other benefit of using this type of flat disc system without a center nut is reduced dishing. It helps produce a much flatter (I.e. less scalloped) surface, which is critical when polishing to a reflective finish.

It would be nice to see how you grind and polish the inside corners. Do you use the same disks? Or, do you use different disks? Bob

Great review, Chris! Takes the mystery out of metal finishing, to be sure. Unrelated query: what’s the story/provenance behind your pre-1959, 48-star American flag? It’s a beauty! I recently found a slightly larger, MUCH more moth-eaten “camp flag” of the same vintage, complete with a 2-piece, 12 foot tall x 1½” oak mast. I know very little of its history; it was inside the attic crawl space of a long-vacant doctor’s office, behind a knee wall. I’ve contacted the doctor’s surviving family, but they aren’t very interested in having it, and without any historical background, the local historical society and museum isn’t interested either. Sooo, I guess I now have a nice old piece for my shop, too! 🇺🇸👍

Note don't use disc that have been used mild steel on stainless steel. It will make the stainless get rust pits where the mild steel from grinding inbeds itself into the stainless Note 2 using an air filter table for safety...while using a grinder without a guard...

@Tyrel_156 2 жыл бұрын

Thanks for the tip on not mixing discs between stainless and mild steel. I don't think the risk is the same using this sanding and polishing setup as it is using something like a cutoff wheel. Plus the guard would interfere with that shallow of a grinding angle.

You probably should have mentioned the importance of wearing a good respirator, especially for grinding, welding, or sanding stainless. These processes liberate hexavalent chromium from stainless steel, which will eventually kill you if it gets into your body, and fine dusts are the worst. You should also wash your hands after exposure, and if safe with the machines you're using, wear gloves, as it can also sensitize skin for dermatitis.

My name is Jesse I work at Nasco General Dynamics I am in the paint department so that requires me to do a lot of mechanical cleaning which is also known as grinding and in relation where we're talking about was a 36th grade that's also called sp11 normally use for the main Wells and other surfaces and other parts of the vessel from the walls to deck or the floor when it comes to the burns from welding when you will on top of a material and the Heat transfers over and burns the epoxy and we got to get rid of that burn to a smooth finish and preparation for pain so that's who I am and that's what I do and thank you for the knowledge

This was really helpful. I have a brushed 18/10 stainless item that I need to mirror polish and this would be a good opportunity to experiment with one of these kits. I see that they have a 2.5” kit. Do you know of a suitable small variable speed grinder? My regular grinder would be overkill for the sort of pieces I’d likely work on, and the smaller disks are much less expensive.

That's one of the biggest complaints I represented to my boss and when he asked me why are you somebody disk or simple you can only use this much of a dish you can't use the rest because you have the dimple that's exposed this kid this friend is quite efficient and you're able to take advantage of the whole entire disc medium and material you're trying to grind I'm actually going to buy this and represent this to my boss and say Hey you know this is a better way to go thank you for the recommendation I really like this kit and bran and I'll be looking for watching more videos of you doing what you do best

@Tyrel_156 2 жыл бұрын

He definitely showed how to get those results with cheaper more available products. Get whats available locally in the same grits and similar products and i think you coud get the same results. The more expensive system just makes it faster to change pads.
