More fun than running an old beater engine without any oil to see how long the engine turns… This way, you get that warm glow that precedes seize-up.
Good times!
Following Phil’s time tested methods, I now have three of those cheap 4″ grinders – one flapper, one cutter composite and one cutter thick grinding wheel. Took maybe 20 minutes start to finish to grind off 3 welded gate hinges from a trailer that I am extending. Slicker than snot – cutter, hammer and tongs (those hinges get HOT), grind old weld flat with flapper, spray the rust-oleum. Done! Amazing when you are not farting around changing disks and whatnot. Hat tip to Phil this day.
Friction welding at its best!!!

That is a very expensive “I forgot to check the gear oil” type of mistake.

Sure you can. You need an 8 pound sledge hammer and a 25 pound CO2 fire extinguisher.

Looked like the wheel of the Lumina we loaned one of my sons while he attended Pitt., when he returned for the weekend.

For as cheap as they get sometimes it really does pay off to have several with different discs ready to go.
Glad to see you get right after it!
