Attachments :Walt, Bogdan, Listers, I read Walts post right before heading out to the shop and thought I'd try a quick test to compare Scotch-Brite to wire wheels. The metal I used is aluminum, I'm guessing 6065 but I'm not sure. The test coupon is about 3 by 10 inches and 1/8 inch thick. I used a worn 8 inch steel wire wheel on a bench grinder, 2 1/2" (I think) steel wire wheel in a die grinder, new medium 2" Roloc disc and a new 4 by 8 or so inch purple Scotch-Brite hand pad. Attached are three photos of the supplies and results. Using my fingertips for judging surface finish I think the hand pad left the smoothest finish. The roloc disc feels just slightly smoother than the small wire wheel in the die grinder finish. The bench grinder wire wheel is by far the roughest finish. I tried to simulate the action I would hope to take if actually removing gasket material from the metal. I think all finishes would work ok but find I prefer the Scotch-Brite finishes. The hand pad certainly finishes the metal the best but I think it would take the most work if used to remove gasket material. It would put a nice finish on a surface after using a more aggressive method to remove a stubborn gasket. I think the wire wheels would be toughest to use on a narrow surface (1/4-3/8") like found on the sealing surfaces of the cases of the KLR. I'd be mostly concerned with rounding over the edges of the surfaces and probably removing too much material too. The photo showing the metal prep supplies on the left shows the die grinder with the Roloc backing disc installed. In front of it are the new disc on the left and a well used disc on the right. Next is the new hand pad and then the wire wheel I used in the die grinder. When using that wire wheel I held it at a sever angle so to almost be using the side of the wheel for surface prep. I didn't have that option with the bench mounted wire wheel as the tool rest and guard were in the way. Hope this is helpful to folks as they decide what to try for their gasket removal and metal prep operations.
