Project Ideas
Business
On-Site Weld Cleanup & Deburr
Offer a mobile service to local fab shops and contractors: fast weld blending, spatter removal, edge radiusing, and cut-off of seized fasteners. The durable zirconia wheel supports high removal rates and long life, minimizing consumable costs and maximizing job throughput.
Stainless Handrail Fabrication
Fabricate and install stainless handrails for restaurants, clinics, and commercial spaces. Use the wheel to blend welds flush and prep for final finishing. Market hygienic, seamless joints and quick turnaround; the wheel’s stainless-friendly grain speeds production.
Equipment Repair and Refurb
Provide repair services for farms and construction crews: grind out cracks, prep joints, clean and smooth welds, and dress edges on guards and brackets. The Type 27 profile allows controlled grinding on flat or fillet areas, improving repair quality and appearance.
Custom Metal Furniture
Build table bases, shelving brackets, and bar stools from steel and stainless. Promote signature grind patterns and seamless weld blends as a design aesthetic. The wheel’s smooth operation reduces rework, helping you hit tight delivery schedules for interior designers.
Moto/Auto Brackets & Guards
Produce small-batch mounting brackets, skid plates, and radiator guards. Use the wheel for profiling, de-burring laser-cut parts, and blending TIG welds on stainless. Sell online and to local shops, emphasizing robust finishes and rapid prototyping capability.
Creative
Grind-Pattern Wall Art
Create shimmering steel wall panels by laying grind patterns (swirls, crosshatch, rays) into sheet metal with the Type 27 wheel. The zirconia grain removes mill scale quickly and runs smoothly enough to lay consistent textures. Heat-color stainless accents with a torch and seal with clear coat for gallery-ready pieces.
Scrap-Metal Bonsai
Cut and shape branches, leaves, and a textured trunk from scrap steel and stainless. Use the wheel to bevel edges, blend welds, and carve bark-like textures. The fiberglass-reinforced, smooth-running wheel helps you sculpt without chatter, producing an organic, hand-hewn look.
Industrial Mirror Frame
Fabricate a heavy steel frame for a mirror or photo, using the 1/8" wheel to slot tabs, chamfer edges, and blend welds. Leave deliberate grind marks as a design feature or brush to a uniform sheen on stainless for a modern, clean finish.
Ember-Glow Fire Pit
Build a steel bowl or box fire pit with cutout motifs. Use the wheel to cut simple shapes, then grind concentric or spiral patterns around the openings. At night, the grind art catches firelight, creating a dynamic glow. Finish edges smooth for safe handling.
Kinetic Wind Spinner
Make a stainless wind spinner from flat bar and discs. Use the wheel to profile and balance blades, ease sharp edges, and blend welds. The high grain concentration speeds up shaping while the depressed center lets you work at various angles for fine tuning.
