Questions & Answers

Do you know if it will ?

Concrete is not what this is meant for

The instructions state to use it on ferrous metal but will it work at all on stainless steel? The edge of an item I need rounded off has a sharp point. ?

If stainless steel is involved, then it should work without a problem.

Do I need a keyless chuck conversion tool to use this in a power drill?

That will be the case.

Can this be used to grind down and make the teeth on a steel bicycle chain sprocket thinner? There are about 1/32" too many teeth in the chain for it to fit. ?

As I thought I just answered... YES... It flattened the bottom of my cast iron skillet... Could not tell which one I used from which one I did not...

In the case of aluminum, only useful for While it is not a bad product, it may not meet your expectations if you don't know what you'll be When applied to aluminum, it's only good for the finishing touches, and it gets covered in no time
5/5

There is a black, rasp-like texture to it. A grinder of the same brand is available on this site that does a much better job of grinding aluminum cast. That product is durable enough to last a lifetime if you just do that. But, it A product such as this can help in such a situation.

The wheel of this drill bit is not working
3/5

Only 10 minutes were left in the drill bit before it was The problem here is that it is not right. While using the wheel, you will notice that the top layer comes off. A new drill bit was sent to me and I called Dewalt to let them know how it performed. As you shaved it off, it should not have been that way.

It's a choking hazard, but there are so many uses for this tool that costs less than 3 dollars! It's hard to predict when you will need to rough sharpen a blade or file down a nail, but this simple grinding bit will do it all almost every time
5/5

The edges are very sharp and parallel, so you can use a regular drill or an impact driver with a hex shank to use. You can't go wrong with these. They grind, smooth, scour, and roughen surfaces. The label on Amazon says that this product is a choking hazard, as if the obviousness of the danger wasn't.

Despite its good construction, it is not abrasive enough for wood cutting
4/5

Originally I purchased this to attach to my drill to grind wood, but it wasn't The drill bit is solid and well built, but if I have to fault the company I should say that it's more suited for other purposes. Choosing a different bit would be a good idea if you are like me and need something to grind wood. Due to the low price, I decided to keep it in case I had a future need for it.

The best grinder you'll ever meet
5/5

It helped me remove sharp edges from 24 or 26 gauge wire fence by grinding the end of the cutter in aluminum oxide. The software was very good at its Although a bit does have some difficulty being controlled, the fault does not lie with the bit itself.

The size of a grain of rice
3/5

A small job could probably be done with this system. There are very few parts to it.
