#22373, "How to grind stainless steel."


          

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.

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.

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.
