I use bristle discs on an angle grinder for removing mill scale, they are way more efficient than flap wheels. If you don't want to use...

I own and use the **** out of this tool, but the updated generation model (relatively recently released) is a nice upgrade.

Thanks everyone, I have a few ideas to try. A band file and electric angle die grinder should be able to do most of what I want to do here.

If by band file, you mean belt sander, I have an astro pneumatics 1/2 x 18 that I bought to clean weld seams inside square tube for...

Media blasting cabinet is the best and easiest way to remove scale. It's much faster than a grinder of any kind. You can also use it to...
