[modeleng] Re: Cast Iron Coolant

Hi All,

I seem to remember from my long ago Apprentice days that you do not grind 
Cast Iron if you are going to weld it because somehow the grind wheel causes 
a change in the metal surface by putting impurities into the surface.
If you do grind off the worse of the metal to form a bevel or such, it 
should then be dressed with a File to take of the affected surface.

Regards

Clif
