Power sanding aluminium angle - any hidden danger
Hi. I have some aluminium angle which I wish to shape. These are 25mm x 25mm, 1mm thick, and about 600mm long. I need to grind off about 40% of the material. I was thinking of doing this by making a jig which will hold the workpiece squarely against my big boy sander (woodworking edge sander).
Are there any hidden dangers in doing this (exploding swarf or some such??).
Dust collector will be disconnected. Sacrificial sanding belt purchased.
Perhaps later I might be doing the same with brass, so same question applies.
Cheers
