I rebuilt an old surface grinder once, and now I'm rebuilding a 16" chop
saw.
Both emitted copious streams of grinding swarf, both machines had lots of
aluminum castings. I remember struggling mightily to get the surface
grinder
clean, but this chop saw is much worse. I am sure it's the nature of the
sparks,
they must be much larger, hotter and "stickier" coming off that 16" wheel
at
3450 rpm. At any rate, they're built up in lots of places and I am
wondering if
there's any sort of magical trick to getting off built-up grinding grit
off of
aluminum castings.

Steel shot in the blast cabinet. Use with extra care.

Or simply knock off whats in the way with a hammer and chisel..and use
the damned thing.

Or are you pin striping it too?

A nice triple wax job when it's all finished will top it off perfectly! g
