Just what I was thinking. Angle grinders are pretty damn loud. Greetings from Iran

Love the video m8 but if you are using a grinder you need hearning protection with that eye protection, or you will need a hearing aid in the not to distant future.

Hi I'm Mike Rogers and on the mig welder how it is use. Before you start to weld it is important to have the metal prepare into a decent condition. Firstly remember if you are going to weld anything with a coating it could just be paint or it could be this piece of steel actually coating. That coating would need removing before you could make clean weld. Also material that you are welding if you work on your vehicle for instance could be rusty so rush also need to be removed. You need to clean the steel back to good clean steel before you could make a join. This useful tool along side your welder is going to be a simple angle grinder. A small version like this is ideal for cleaning up steel, preparing steel, and removing a occasional bad weld. Of course you can use one of these or one of these for safety goggles because this produces a lot of spots and can be dangerous. Okay.
