Sanding Question

[Daniel.Donaldson]

I know this might be a very broad question, but what is the best sanding material for removing paint without mauling the metal. Keep in mind that I am talking about the biggest bang for the buck! Have an awesome day and thanks for all of the awesome information that you guys put out!!!!

Well, it wouldn't be a 'sanding material', it'd be electrolyis or chemical paint stripper in my opinion. Neither of those do anything to the metal parts.

Stripper works well..... but you're going to expend some elbow grease either way :-)

I was really wondering how good a wire brush on a grinder would do????

[jbrewer]

For small and medium size parts, great!

It'll also help you become intimately acquainted with the dark recesses of your garage, after you go on hands and knees trying to find the particular piece of hardware that the grinder ripped out of your hands and flung into the void....

But I still use it all the time!

Use my wire brush on my bench grinder all the time. Just remember to wear eye protection. I usually hold the smaller pieces with vice grips so it keeps the skin on my fingers and keeps me from looking for a lost finger.
