Hello,
I produce a lot of products which are boxed and welded sheet metal. This usually leaves the majority of the corners welded which I cannot bend in a brake. As I go into production, I need a more efficient method of removing all of the excess meld material other than hand held grinders and flap wheels.
I saw an episode of "How Its Made" featuring the production of metal caskets. They have a similar issue and solution using a large belt sander, which appears to be a custom machine:
How Its Made - Metal Caskets - YouTube (1:52 into the video)
I have also seen larger belt sanders which seem to be for woodworking but would seem useful if they offered abrasive belts for steel.

Any help would be most appreciated!
Thank you,
