What are you using to grind into the internal corner like that? I've got a few places I could do with a better finish - for example some chassis repairs need to have the flange welded on rather than bent over, and it would be nice to smooth them out. Can't get a proper grinder in, sometimes I used the dremel-a-like with a carbide burr but it takes ages due to the size of it.

In evenings over the last month or two, I've given my website (which is nearing its 10th anniversary) a rather thorough revamp (partly to make it easier for me to maintain, but also to make it work on mobile phone browsers:

If anyone can spare any time to have a bit of a browse around the new site (which is currently on a development server) before I publish it properly, then it would be greatly appreciated.

Had a quick look on a Samsung tablet using Firefox and everything seems good

Mostly, a drive shaft nose bearing for the sand muller, machined from a knackered Vincent Rapide magneto drive pinion .
Not sure what grade of Tufnol it is, Whale, Carp, Crow, Vole, Pterodactyl , or whatever, but it fits well enough, and has been barmed up with some helicopter rotor grease that may have been liberated from one of Her Britannic Majesties Establishments many years previously.
Anyway, the bugs are being ironed out, albeit slowly.
Someone's got to do it , and it'll most likely have to be me.....

I use a 1mm slitting disc to tickle down the majority then finish it off with a 75mm disc on a die grinder.
Had a quick look also, duck duck go, white background on mobile.
Could do with a little more contrast between text and background.

Thanks for the feedback. Can you share a screenshot?
No you need to find the name of those clamps to get a supplier.

I've just pushed a change that should make the text a bit darker. Can you let me know what you think? (you might have to reload the page, even after navigating to it) for your browser to fully refresh.

Cheers, I've been doing that a lot, but the particular parts I want to grind down are quite difficult to get the tools in. I should have ground them down before I fitted them. I bought an arbour to fit 75mm discs in my die grinder, but I really don't like using it - my die grinder isn't variable speed, and without a shield I'm a bit nervous.

I made some cupboard doors to a chimney alcove for a victorian terrace i'm refurbishing.
The originals were long gone, and it would look a bit tatty left as it was. I enjoy woodwork far more than metalwork these days.
Just 100 litres of paint to throw round the job and it won't be far away

Nice work!
It reminds me of growing up, my bedroom had one of those style alcove cupboards, it was where my tool collection started to live when I was about age 11

Got the PTM-100 torch holder sorted for the plasma table today and fitted it all up. Levelled the torch and did a few test cuts on 5mm and 12mm. Massive improvement over the old Sl100 torch already. I've still got to play tunes with the torch height control and cut speed, it seems like it likes a few more volts than the sl100 torch.
Anyway it seems to work great on the thermal dynamics power source
