These discs are rated for 10,200 the grinder is 11,000rpm so I run it on number 5 on the speed control. I have my eye on a nice branded 5" grinder which is 10,000rpm and 1400W too.

that work grinder will die in less time than it took to make the guard!

It floated away on the coolant before I could remove it from the ChironWhere's Madagascar?

It's twin cost 20 quid 8 yrs ago and is still going. I don't think I'll shed any tears if it happens
Plus it was a fun, cool thing to do. Exercised the mind etc.
Sometimes it's as much about the journey!

A lot of the time its more about the journey
Even on here, a lot of folk tend to forget that, on occasion. Making or altering things isn't always a time or cost issue. Sometimes it's merely just because we can, else choose to.

I need advice on how to finish this, I've been over it with 40 grit paper on a half sheet sander and it's smoothed it quite nicely but it's brought up loads of fibres, like this;Picnic table is pretty much done, just needs sanding and painting, not sure what with yet.

It's "Upcycled" from old pallets, all it cost was a box of screws.
Need to make a BBQ now, a garden table is pretty useless without one.
The plan is to go over it again with finer paper, probably 120 and 240 grit, but I'm wondering if I should seal it with something first, some thin PVA or varnish to soak in a bit and stick all the fibres down, before I continue sanding?
I'm not sure what to paint it with when it's all done either, all I've got to hand is creosote, which I don't fancy sitting on, or eating off.
I don't really want to use fence paint, I'd rather some sort of stain or varnish, I'll ask my dad if he's got any exterior Osmo stuff but failing that I'll buy whatever people say is best.

Go over it with a fine grit paper, & then again when you've given it the first coat of whatever you use.

That exhaust looks like it may be a bit noisy
