It's probably a good idea to use this to sharpen knives.

That's true, the tool is well made, I've used it on different types of metal, such as brass and copper.

Your table will be free of a metal screw when you use this method.

Selected User Reviews For DEWALT DWA4974 Aluminum Oxide 3/4" x 1-1/4" Hp Grinding Pt

As usual, I ordered this from Amazon (like so many other things) because I couldn't find exactly what I needed to do a little light grinding on a striker plate at my local store
4/5

As I didn't want to keep removing the plate to file it, then reinstalling it for testing, I planned to store As it turned out, the grinding point did the job, and I have it in hand for other projects. My tendency is to never miss the chance to pick up a tool when a need arises!.

This collet cannot be used with 1/4" screws
3/5

In general, I do not like to give a bad review for their quality seemed good and they are likely to work well with a wide range This bit will not fit into 1/4" collets or any tool that only takes bits up to 1/4", due to its slightly wider shaft than Since it is designed to be used in a flex shaft rotary tool, which uses collets, I could not use it. Though probably not as good as the original, most electric drills should be able to use this.

Basically a good stone to remove burs and finish an edge
5/5

It is a good stone for it uses. According to its manufacturer, it is not meant for heavy-duty grinding. Initially, I had hoped to shape angle iron with it, but it just didn't work. This was the tool I used to finish the metal edges after sizing it.

The recommendation is not to be used
3/5

You may need to change the A metal, wood, and plastic (pvc) part of the advertisement clearly indicates its use. My new sander was in perfect working order until I used it briefly on an agglo wood part and then it stopped working (not sanding). You can check the part's thinness by looking at the picture.

I appreciate it
5/5

For reducing the amount of wood rot prior to applying bondo to the deck, I used this grinder. Although I wish it was longer, I can always put it in a 5" bit stand.

The stones are good for you
5/5

Considering the price of this stone attachment, it is an excellent deal. This shape makes it easy to shape and grind holes in metal and fiberglass, fit into tight spaces, and bevel holes for other grinding and shaping requirements.

To smooth out holes made in plastic, this is a good tool
5/5

A rough cut round hole in hard plastic can be refined smoothly with this product. The hole saw cut is cleaned up by removing the loose material. The best part is that it won't crack the plastic if handled gently!.

To sharpen my tractor blades, I used a sharpening stone
5/5

As it turned out, it worked. I used a couple of other files to make the blades sharp, but I was able to cut my grass short again using the tractor.
