Looking to get a piece of metal angle-grinded

jman0war

I've got this piece of cast iron and it's got these little bits protruding on the back that i'd like to get grinded down.
It's a small job but i don't have an anglegrinder.

Is there anyone or anyplace that can do this for me ?

I'm in south dublin city.

Any decent builders providers,HSS or Sam Hire will hire an angle grinder out to you for around 20-25 euro for a day.

Also wear protective gloves and glasses or a full face shield,some ear plugs too

Any Metal or Welding shop will do it for very little charge. They may even do it for nothing.

You'll buy a cheap grinder for 20 Euro these days.

jman0war

Thanks for the replies.

It's a one off job, but it's not worth 20-25€.
Don't want to spend 20€ to buy one for a one-off job like this.

Where would i find a metal or welding shop in S dublin city?

You will have to give money to the welding shop or metal fabricators to do this for you.

People dont work for nothing these days,you know.

If your not willing to spend €20 on an angle grinder you could just buy a file and file them off. Should be able to get a file for less than €5

On another note, I bought a cheap angle grinder 15 years ago and the thing is still going strong. I had to cut 2 inches off the cable as it broke just where it enters the handle, but this thing just keeps going.

jack of all

If you have an electric drill you could buy a small carborondum wheel for it and use this to grind the areas, presuming they are small. Probably cost less than €5.

Well then dont get the job done and stick with the metal the way it is.



I suppose that you dont have a hacksaw or a file and are too scabby to buy a cheap one of each and do the job yourself aswell this way.

Im sure you will say no to the above suggestion and still expect work done by a metal fabrication shop for nothing.

Thanks very much for your offer.

But a friend of a friend has an anglegrinder and i'm heading over there this weekend.


No thanks to paddy147, let me guess, a taxi driver?

Taxi Driver??

Where or how in the hell did you come up with that?

And also,what would be wrong with being a taxi driver,as a profession??????

Please explain.






I actually work in the construction and IT sector,and have done so for that last 14 years.

Sorry but you come accross as a bit of a cheapskate who is too lazy and cant be bothered to do it himself (post history),yet who wants something done by someone else for nothing,and thats not how the world works.

i heard he is a sparks teaboy and part time camera boy

partyatmygaff

Just buy a file and have at it.

Unless of course you can't justify paying €5 for a file. In that case your best bet is to just hope it rusts off.

So you have 20 years building expericnce,thats great.


But there are alot of people here on this forum with alot more experience in the building and construction industry than you,yet they dont post or act like you do.So hense me saying to you to cop on and grow up.

You obviously are a mature,grown man and not some kid,so try acting and posting like a propper mature,grown man and not resort to your stupid little bitchy and mocking,slanderous posts about me,my house,me being a houseowner,my investments,my heating system and its energy usage or anything like that.

jj build

Of course there is but they dont get pounced on by you because you know there not newbies, now will you give it a rest and leave it at that .

Nothing to do with being a newbie,and it was never about that either.

Right so,lets call it "water under the bridge" and leave it be now.

Have a good day.

No, you and that other freakshow are making presumptions about the job that are wrong, and assumptions about me that are baseless.

It's not about spending money, or being too "cheap" to do so. It's about not having to possess material possessions unecessarily.
You see, unlike yourself i try to keep my material possessions to a minimum. This is because i don't particularly like consumerism and i intend on emigrating.

This is why i don't want to purchase an anglegrinder or a file, because it's only going to be used once. Then it will either be thrown into a bin, or it will sit there and rust for the next unknown numbers of years. Or, id have to make additional arrangments (and additional cost, consumption of energy resources etc) to discard it, or sell it.

Why people like you insist on making your presumptions about things is totally beyond me.

Have a read of that paddy's posts. He automatically presumes the job is worth more and 20€, that i'm too cheap or lazy to do it myself, and that i'm too cheap to buy the item. All completely baseless presumptions that are, a little retarded. He sounds like a grumpy taxi driver that is "owed" a decent living.

So how exactly do you hope to do what you want to achieve seeing as you don't have the tools.

If you even found a metal fabricating shop to do it for you it would cost €10 or so for their time. I don't see how spending €5 on a very useful tool is in anyway unreasonable. If you don't want to have a lot of material possessions (Shock horror) then just throw the file away straight after using it.

I'm taking lend of the tools. If you read page 1 you'd know that.

I'm sure that's something the guy at the metal shop and I could come to an agreement over. Sans your opinion.

Read my post above. I mentioned something about "consumerism" and owning crap unnecessarily.
Evidently you don't get it.

No, evidently I do get it. It's you who has a flawed understanding of the word "consumerism".

Consumers exchange money for product. A product is defined as a tangible good or a service. I don't know about you but i'd call getting a workshop to grind down some cast iron a service.

This is a DIY forum, isn't it? Naturally people would recommend you to buy a file for €5 and do the job yourself rather than drive all around the city with a block of cast iron trying to find a workshop that will do it for you.

jman0war

Look, i've explained to you why i don't want to purchase an item unnecessarily. I don't really see what it has to do with you, or what makes you think your opinion is something i give a crap about.

My OP is as follows:

I've got this piece of cast iron and it's got these little bits protruding on the back that i'd like to get grinded down.
It's a small job but i don't have an anglegrinder.

Is there anyone or anyplace that can do this for me ?

I'm in south dublin city.

The only thing i'm looking for, is someone or someplace that can grind this yoke down. I have that now, no thanks to people like you.

I certainly don't require self-rightous internet pesonalities making presumptions and judgements about me over my intention to have a person or shop grind a piece of metal down.

Now would you do us all a favor and STFU?

delly

Two separate infractions for jman0war for abusive posts. paddy147 and jj build sorted there issues, but it is unfortunate that the OP decided to go down the route of giving abuse. Thread is now closed.
