Is there anything like this that exists? Here's a picture of a product we make:
Flap discs and grinding wheels just take too much time. I've been able to speed up the cutting process and the fit up/welding process on these, but the grinding is just something I can't seem to come up with anything. The grinding on these can easily take 2-3 hours for a set. I would love to find a machine where I could drop these in, have it knock down the welds to almost flush, then go through and blend in by hand.
The picture above is just one example, there's 70+ different shapes and configurations we make, the ones in the picture are just the most complicated. We make displays and furniture products, those are table legs in the picture. Most products are painted or powder coated after completion.
My first thought was a Blanchard type grinder, but I've never operated one, so I don't know how long they take or what their cost-to-operate looks like, or if this would even be a good application for that type of machine. Thoughts? Or just stick with the tried and true hand grinding method.
