My favorite 2 tools in my shed..
The 5" is my file and the 9" is my grinder..
As mentioned alloy melts into the disk pores, so grab a 1.6mm inox free disc. This is a finer disc with a good reinforcement layer. I use 1mm disc but you have to be steady. To much side load and boom..
Don't stick it all the way in!!! Contrary to belief a little is better.
Only have the disc just cutting the bottom of the plate, the less disc in the alloy, the more fresh disc you have..
Use a handle, you get more control.
Do short stints, alloy the alloy to cool to avoid excessive build up on the disc.
And goes without saying, correct ppe.
