Brushed-Steel Planter Boxes
Fabricate rectangular steel planter boxes, then use the 7" 120-grit flap disc to blend corner welds, ease the top lip with a soft chamfer, and create a uniform satin grain around the perimeter. Finish with a clear coat or patina for a clean, modern look.
Geometric Fire Pit
Weld together a polygonal fire pit from plate steel. Use the flap disc to remove slag, blend exterior seams flush, and create consistent edge bevels so the facets catch the light. The 7" diameter speeds up finishing large faces while leaving a refined surface.
Industrial Wall Art Panels
Cut steel sheets into abstract shapes or stencils. Create directional brushed patterns and subtle shading by varying pressure and pass direction with the flap disc. The 120 grit yields a satin finish that pops under a clear coat and gallery lighting.
Custom Metal Shelving Brackets
Plasma- or bandsaw-cut bracket blanks, weld gussets, then deburr and blend with the flap disc. Add a uniform brushed finish and softened edges for a high-end, hand-crafted look that pairs well with live-edge or reclaimed wood shelves.
Mixed-Media Garden Bench
Build a steel frame with wood slats. Use the flap disc to blend welds on the frame, create a consistent grain on exposed metal surfaces, and chamfer edges for comfort. The satin steel contrasts nicely with oiled hardwood.
