Tools used for Grinding (Ironworking)

Grinding tools in Ironworking are used to remove excess material and create a smooth surface. They are typically powered by electricity or air, and consist of abrasive discs or wheels that rotate at high speeds. These tools are designed to withstand the demands of working with iron and can effectively shape, sharpen, or refine iron components. They are essential for tasks such as removing welds, deburring, or shaping metal surfaces. Grinding tools in Ironworking require proper safety precautions to protect the user from flying sparks and debris. Always wear appropriate protective gear when operating these tools.
