but what kind of grinder(s)/discs do you use for grinding your welds?

This is what I use to dress my welds down. I use the 1991 to level and the 1406 or 1407 to smooth.

Alan, the extra work was probably a birthday present from a higher authority. I like to use that term. Got to use it once at work. I had a persimmon tree blow down on our campus during a storm. It was the only one we had. I got a nasty letter some time later from a Biology professor demanding to know why we removed it while he was off for the summer, and that he used it in his classroom teachings. I proudly told him it was removed by a higher authority!

Nice link to some affordable abrasives. I might check into it someday.

Since I couldn't work on 198's I welded my hood tonight. It got too late to grind. I've got a little over 2 hrs so far. I still need to grind and clean up and touch up spots that I missed.

Tried to clean out the joint the best I could.



Tack welded about every 3/8"-1/2".



Connected the dots on every other space



As it is now. It's hard to make a pretty weld when you jump around so much. All will be ground smooth.
