Cleaning & Blending Welds

How to remove and blend stainless steel welds
Stainless steel weld removal, blending & finishing - Step 1
Removing welds with a Dynabrade 54400 Right Angle Disc Sander
Method 1.a Weld Removal = Dynabrade 54400 Disc Sander 3M Cubitron II Roloc Discs

Work Hint: Use the finest grade of abrasive that gets the job done; finer grind lines are easier to remove. Align the grind line scratches with the grain line direction of the original stock. Perpendicular scratches are more difficult to blend; parallel scratches blend easily during finishing. Use a 7" dia. black ribbed faceplate to level the weld quickly and leave fine grind lines.

  1. Dynabrade 54400 Right Angle Disc Sander 18,000 RPM
  2. 75mm (3") Abrasive Discs (P36 for extremely hard metals, P60 / P80 to leave a better finish)
