thanks, good to know. I bought a set of flap disks for my angle grinder but have yet to try them out. This year the top deck of my lawn mower had rusted out so I had to do a metal and welding job, and was worried that the welding might ignite the gas. I had drained the tank and waited a couple of months for the vapours to evaporate.

Over the weekend, I tried "flap disc" for angle grinder.  Yes, flap disc
is the best way to restore the edge of lawn mower blade.  I guess, I
could use sanding bit on die grinder (if I can find one), and the result
would be about the same but slower.

Thanks for the idea of "belt sander", ie. sand paper.
