	I have a need to grind down sharp edges of a high grade Stainless steel clamp/ring. I'll be grinding several hundred at a time. I just need to knock off ( DULL) the sharp point or about 1/8" or less of the steel clamp/ring. The clamp/rings are: 1.60mm thickness 516 Stainless Steel I have a 6" wheel type grinder that turns up around 3600 rpms QUESTION: What type or style grind wheel should I use? Grit? Material? __________________ There is no recall from extinction.

	I had better results with sand paper and rubber backing disk. Or a belt with soft (under) layer. Once you go for good quality, a #80 or 60 will be fine. You will never have the same result with a stone. I have some here that last very long. (Norton) And you will have less mess. __________________ Plenty of room here

	The best and fastet way to get this done is by using a belt sander. Several companies make a 2 or 3 " belt sander that will do the job. Belts cut faster, load less and are available in a wider variety of grits. Burr King, baldor, grizzly are some of the companies that offer these style of grinders. Depending on the series of stainless you are grinding a Norton Norzon (blue) belt will probably give you the best finish.

	How about using a machinists deburring tool? A lot less clean-up and probably quicker. It will take care of edges. You will only have to take off the points with a hand held pneumatic belt sander. __________________ Nothing exceeds like excess.
