Filing sander?
Guys, I need to do a lot of cleaning up on the welds where I've re-attached the new front sub-frame after the tree parking incident.
Rather than attack them with Mr Angry Grinder I thought a filing sander might be useful.
Seems to me there are a couple of options - a Makita electric one which costs quite a lot or a pneumatic one I can use off the compressor.
B&D do one but it looks a bit puny to me.
Any thoughts/comments as to which please?
Cheers, Pewe

Use a flap disc mounted in the angle grinder.
And make sure you do not go beneath the original surface.

Third on the flapper disc, though I've just bought a B&D powerfile (see topic) and it's quite good for getting in to clean
inaccessable welds and stuff.
If disfunction is a function, then I must be some kind of genius.

I use fibre disks about 60 grit and a flexible backing pad in the angle grinder, they work out cheaper than flap wheels and last ages.

I went into the RSPCA office the other day. It was so small you could hardly swing a cat in there.

Thanks for the replies.
Bit the bullet and bought a filing sander.
Incredible piece of kit - reaches all those inaccessible bits.
Now I just need to learn how not to snap the belts every five minutes!
Cheers, Pewe
