Business
Mobile Aluminum Weld Cleanup Service
Offer on‑site weld bead knock‑down, edge prep, and deburring for fabricators, food‑service equipment builders, and makerspaces. The aluminum‑specific wheel reduces loading, so you can work fast on TIG/MIG aluminum without constant dressing. Bill hourly or per joint with rush‑job premiums.
Alloy Wheel Curb‑Rash Repair
Provide curb‑rash removal and profile restoration on aluminum car rims. Use the grinding wheel for initial material removal and shaping, then step through finer abrasives and coatings. Partner with detail shops for referrals and sell mobile repairs at dealerships and car meets.
Marine Aluminum Finishing
Specialize in grinding and blending on pontoons, jon boats, docks, and T‑tops. Remove corrosion pitting, fair patches, and smooth welds with the non‑ferrous wheel, then hand off to polishing or coating. Target marinas and boatyards with seasonal service contracts.
Sign Blank Deburring & Chamfering
Offer fast deburring, edge‑rounding, and surface blemish removal on aluminum sign blanks and architectural panels for sign shops and laser/waterjet vendors. Per‑piece pricing with volume discounts; quick turnarounds add value for shops under deadline.
Industrial‑Style Home Décor Line
Produce and sell aluminum products—bookends, shelf brackets, trays, and address numbers—with distinctive ground textures and crisp chamfers. The wheel’s durability keeps unit costs down. Sell via Etsy, local markets, and to interior designers; offer custom texturing as an upcharge.
Creative
Faceted Aluminum Bookends
Cut small blocks of scrap aluminum and sculpt geometric facets with the grinding wheel. Use the soft-bond, non‑loading wheel to hog material quickly and create crisp chamfers, then blend faces for an industrial, jewel‑like look. Finish with finer abrasives if desired and add felt pads underneath.
Ground‑Texture Wall Art Panel
Mount a sheet of aluminum to a backing and carve bold sweeps, grooves, and relief patterns with the Type 27 wheel. The softer bond resists loading, letting you lay down consistent textures that shimmer under light. Backlight with LEDs or frame it for a modern kinetic‑look art piece.
Modern House Numbers
Cut numbers from thick aluminum plate or bar and use the wheel to bevel edges, radius corners, and smooth saw marks. Blend welds on any standoffs you add, then brush or polish for a clean architectural finish. Mount with hidden hardware for a floating effect.
Minimalist Shelf Brackets
Fabricate L‑brackets from aluminum angle or plate, grind clean chamfers, and blend any welds. The wheel’s soft bond keeps cutting on non‑ferrous metals without gumming, so edges come out straight and uniform. Clear‑coat for a raw industrial aesthetic.
Sculptural Planter
Join segments of aluminum tube or sheet into a faceted planter. Use the grinding wheel to true edges for tight fits, flatten weld crowns, and create decorative facets. Add drainage holes and a brushed finish for a sleek patio piece.
