Hi all
Has anyone used a muti tool (dremel) to dress welds

any good???

Sorry, havent used one for grinding welds. I,ve seen it used a couple of times but i,d reckon it would take forever to tidy welds up if you had any reasonable amount to do. A small grinder isnt that expensive, it might be worth investigating about getting one, it,d make life a lot handier for you.

I was thinking of getting a pencil grinder to do the same job, would probally be a bit quicker than a dremel , would be handy for porting the head too.

I've been using one for a long time, will pretty much do any job, but is VERY slow to do any real grinding with. Biggest advantage it has is it's great for getting into awkward areas, especially with the long flexible drive cable. I'd go with jonjosar idea of a small grinder for any real work.
If you could get the dremel flexi drive cable thing on it's own and connect it to a drill you would get a more powerful tool that would use dremel bits and be a lot cheaper than the dremel.

Best thing for welds is a grinder with flapper pads.
