I have spent a hideous amount of hours over the years chipping dross off the back of plasma cuts, a deadly job on larger pieces of work.
Then on here I saw a mention of a drill powered device for shipping paint and underseal off. looks like a potential dross remover. But I was too tight to spend twenty quid finding out.
but today I was at a loose end.

Cut a 150mm diameter disc out of perspex, drilled it out for a bolt through the middle and put small woodscrews around the edge. Looks cool.
The first one shattered after a few minutes, my fault as I was working towards an edge not swiping away from it.
I made MkII

Success, just dont snag any edges. A bit noisy but pretty effective.
Also quite good on rust.
When it dies I will stump up for the commercial version.
or can somebody supply me with a disc of aluminium 150mm x10?
That would work a treat with self tappers.
