Business
Stainless Kitchen Finish & Repair Service
Offer on-site blending and restoration for commercial kitchens: counters, hoods, splash guards, and fixtures. The coolant layer prevents heat tint on stainless, delivering uniform grain and invisible weld touch-ups. Market to restaurants, hotels, and food-processing facilities; charge per linear foot or per service call.
Mobile Post-Weld Cleanup for Fabricators
Partner with local weld shops and contractors to provide fast post-weld blending and surface prep on structural and ornamental metal. The 9-inch disc and 5/8"-11 quick-lock system reduce time on large runs of handrails, frames, and brackets. Bill by hour or project; upsell rust/scale removal and paint-ready prep.
Custom Motorcycle/Auto Metal Finishing
Specialize in blending and finishing exhausts, headers, frames, and roll cages. The disc removes weld crowns and evens tube joints quickly; lubricant layer helps prevent discoloration on stainless components. Offer finish tiers (satin, brushed, paint-ready) and package with fabrication or repair services.
Architectural Metal Restoration & Prep
Refurbish railings, stair stringers, gates, and balcony panels. Strip old coatings, remove corrosion, and blend repairs to a uniform finish ready for powder coat or paint. The fiber disc’s tear resistance helps around corners and spindles. Target property managers and general contractors; offer maintenance contracts.
Metal Art & Decor Studio
Produce and sell brushed metal wall art, signage, and statement panels. Use the disc to establish distinctive textures and flawless weld blending that set your pieces apart. Sell via Etsy, local galleries, and corporate commissions; offer on-site installation and custom sizing for interior designers.

Brushed Stainless Wall Art Panels
Create large-format wall art by texturing stainless sheets with controlled directional grain. The zirconia 80-grit disc quickly levels weld seams and high spots, while the coolant layer minimizes heat tint so your brushed patterns stay clean. Use the 9-inch diameter to lay long, consistent strokes; finish edges and blended welds for a seamless floating-panel look.
Industrial Coffee Table from Reclaimed Steel
Transform reclaimed plate and tube steel into a modern table. Use the disc to remove mill scale, rust, and old coatings, then blend welds and soften sharp edges. The fiber backing resists tearing when you’re cleaning up corners, and the 5/8"-11 quick-lock backing pad speeds disc changes between prep and finishing passes.
Knife Blank Profiling and Bevel Blending
Rough-shape stainless or tool steel knife blanks and blend primary bevels before heat treat. The 80-grit zirconia grain eats stock fast, and the coolant layer helps reduce discoloration on stainless. Follow with finer grits for scratch refinement. Great for cleaning up tangs and smoothing spine/jimping transitions.
Welded Garden Sculpture Clean-Up
After welding steel elements into a sculpture, use the disc to erase seams, even surfaces, and unify texture. The 9-inch size covers large contours efficiently, while the coolant layer reduces burn marks on thin sections. Finish with a uniform swirl or linear grain prior to clear coat or patina.
Patina-Ready Metal Signage
Build layered metal signage and prep it for patina or paint. Strip and level surfaces, round edges for a professional feel, and blend spot welds without blueing. The disc’s fiber backing holds up when feathering edges of cut letters and logos, setting the stage for crisp finishes.
