... finally found your sword thread 
... I've got some further questions on grinding my (totally blunt) carbon steel gladius. I've no idea where to start with.
If I get it right you said that ( http://www.romanarmy.com/rat/viewtopic. ... &start=100 ):
1. use an angle grinder (approx. 1000 W, - will be 850 W enough?) with an rough abbrasive disc (btw, which diameter? the bigger, the better?)
2. then a smooth grinding disc (thickness 6mm) and ...
3. a flap wheel for finishing
did I get this right? (I know, I completely suck on this matter ;-) ) )
regards,
Tiberius
p.s. when you mentioned degrees, did you mean Celsius or Fahrenheit?
