Trying to grind some stainless steel and its taking forever! Just trying to see if anyone has any good methods or products that they use to grind it down.

I am using an angle air grinder with 60grit discs and its taking a long ass time.

Any input would be appreciated.

What are we up to now?

The same way you grind mild steel. Grinding is usually not a fast process.

Definately not, we got guys in the shop at work that grind thick steel on tower baseplates/gussets...and it slows shit up when someone doesn't follow a weld symbol.

electric angle grinder with the thicker discs? are you using some kinda stick on sanding pad?

You know not to use any wheel/disc on stainless that has been used on any other metal correct? Just want to make sure because it would be a shame if you went to all that trouble just to have it rust on you from contamination.
