I do like the grinder with the cut off wheel better. I can slice the head of the weld off instead of having to grind through the whole thing.

After I get the welds close to level, I finish them off with a flap disc. It may be worth a try to see if you like it better. Either way, you end up digging black stuff out of your nose and ears for the next few days!
Moving onto the flap disk now, I love that thing!
