Grinding Fuel Plates
How long does it take to grind a fuel plate? What machines do you use? Just a Bench grinder? I have a milling machine surface grinder and lathe (If you could do it with those any faster)? what part of the plate do you grind and how much? THANKS

The first time I did mine I used a Dremel, took forever. When I ground it to a 100, I used my right angle grinder, and smoothed it out with an old sharpening stone. Both ways worked, if I did it again I would just use the grinder and smooth it out. Way easier.

I use a 4" angle grinder with a 80 grit flapper wheel.
Takes less than a minute to make a #100 out of a stock plate.
A lot of people make this more complicated than it really is- it's not rocket science.
