Well, you don't use it to cut the handle off. You grind the bottom of the pan smooth. Isn't that obvious? I guess not, apparently. But it seems like it should

You grind the bottom of the pan smooth. Isn't that obvious? I guess not, apparently. But it seems like it should be.
- outericky 5y agoSince it wasn't obvious - the inside of the pan :D

- dghlsakjg 5y agoa flap disc. Seems like overkill though. You could probably just hand sand it to be honest.
- aksss 5y agoProbably, random orbital sander would do the trick, but slower and chew through a lot of sanding discs. It took me years to finally acquire a grinder - just no real need between sanders and saws. Once I started working on concrete and metal it became necessary, and now it seems like a luxury for all the little things which I probably should have been enjoying a long time ago. But IME, most people under 40 don’t have an angle grinder laying about. So borrow one from a 40+ friend before making the ROS do the work, IMO.
- moron4hire 5y agoI used a flexible grinding disk. Tools exist to make jobs easy. There is no virtue in doing hard work for hard works sake. Plus, orbital sanders tend to inflame my carpal tunnel.
- buildsjets 5y agoHave you ever in your life tried to use an angle grinder for this sort of thing? It’s one of a family of cutting tools built on the Ouija board principle. It transforms human energy into a crooked, unpredictable motion, and the more you attempt to influence its course, the more dismal your future becomes. If i had a cast iron pan I had to flatten, I’d dog it down on my CNC router, set up a 1/4” endmill, whip up some code for 33% overlapping passes in Fusion 360, and take off .005” layers until it was flat.
- mark-r 5y agoMost of us don't have CNC routers sitting around doing nothing.
- justinclift 5y agoWhile angle grinders are useful and all, wouldn't the right commonly available tool for this be something like an orbital sander?
