   I refurbish glass blowing jacks occasionally and reshape the parts built   
   up freehand with an angle grinder, one can do surprisingly fine work   
   with care and the right choice of discs.   
      
   ------------------------   
      
   I bought a batch of name brand saucer disks for my 7" angle grinder cheap,   
   then found that they were rejects whose hubs hadn't been staked securely   
   enough, so I machined a hub that screws tight to salvage them. Lathe time is   
   good time when making metal take whatever shape I imagine. The saucer shape   
   is nice for grinding welds flat because it continues to cut only at the   
   outer rim as it wears down, and thus guides itself to make a flat surface.
