I’ve tried a dozen different methods to do this, and finally got a bench grinder from depot and a fine wire wheel and polishing wheel. Well, the wire wheel just digs the crap out of the brass and the polishing wheel doesn’t really take the paint off and, even with the rouge, doesn’t polish that well. And the metal gets really hot.
What am I doing wrong? I didn’t even mention that I couldn’t find parts to fit the 8″ Ryobi grinder, with 5/8 arbor, and had to rig up washers to get anything to fit. I hate depot, but that’s not the point of this. Sorry for the extraneous rant.
