thinking about grinding my stock plate to 100. is it risky since i dont have one for backup as a spare or is this an everyday thing that you cant screw up? if i dont have to worry about it then what is the best to grind it? bench grinder? or something similar?

 

i purchased a #10 plate and ran it for a while, then decided to go a 100. I took my stocker and ground it down to the #100. I used the bench grinder to get it close, then used my Dremel to get the swoop in the bottom. Print out a picture of the #100 first, blown up, then do your best to trace it onto your donor plate, worked best for me... good luck...

ground mine on the old bench grinder the ther night, not to hard just take your time.

 

I grind mine on the bench grinder, and then take a fine sanding drum chucked up in the die grinder to polish it out

 

I used my right angle grinder, and constantly took breaks to check my profile with the one in Rick's gallery, and let it cool. I smoothed it up with an old stone.
