Don't dismiss wheel dressing too quickly.
You like to weld on occasion. Welders and anglegrinders go together
like peanutbutter and jelly. I'm tawkin' fitup of course, not that
either of us would ever need to grind a weld ...
I discovered fairly recently that dressing an anglegrinder wheel can
make an absolutely amazing difference in performance. This includes
even the best wheels sold at my welding store. Things seem to be
slowing down some, I give the wheel a quick rake with a diamond and
the spark shower triples immediately hoo ah! I guess even the best
wheels can glaze if leaned on hard enough, dressing off the glaze gets
'em cutting like they should.

Hey, I learned something. Don't happen often anymore. I think I'll try a
wheel dresser though. Maybe compare to a diamond.

I even admit to, gasp, grinding bad welds!!!
Good idea Don. I tried one of them and was amazed at how these diamond
stand up to the wheels.
