Can anyone recommend a brand of carbide burr that will hold up to use on mild steel?
I'm in the process of rebuilding the mounting bracket for the loader on my tractor (1983 Ford 1710). I never realized the bracket had been repaired (poorly) in the past and the horizontal member rotted trough this spring and gave out. I have most of that portion cut away, and new steel on hand to weld back in, but I have a tight corner that I can't get into with my 4-1/2" grinder.
Ideally, I'd prefer to use a burr with a 1/8" shank since I'm limited to a Dremel at this point. If I can get a 1/4" 110V tool relatively cheap (I don't trust my air compressor to keep up with a pneumatic tool), then the 1/4" burs would obviously be a better option but I haven't crossed that bridge yet.
Thanks,
Mark
