Enco sells grinding discs that screw into a standard 4" angle grinder, i
think they are some kind of zirconium and only a few dollars each and they
remove kiln wash incredibly fast, i mean i was clearing entire 18X24
shelves in a few seconds as i was cleaning and flipping my entire set of
shelves.They don't cut into the shelves as easily as the diamond grinder
mark uses (i have one as well, only use it for the really heavy stuff
these days). If you want i can tell you the part number for them, i would
just have to look it up.

Okay I have used the old hammer and scraper or chisel. This
does okay for drips. I want to peel off?ALL the old wash to put
one that works better, maybe try Axners Super Kiln Wash.
?So Lowes had the "brick stone" which is a large sharpening
stone with handle. Tried that with water, pyramids were built
faster. Point is, can this be done with speed and water to
avoid the deadly dust?
Harbor Freight has a 7" air angle grinder w/water feed designed
for stone and marble work. Anybody try this approach yet?
Is this worth it? The grinder costs $110, plus a compressor,
plus a quick release valve, plus what new diamond disks
might be needed to complete the job.
Or should I ask a marble fabricator what the cost might be?

For cleaning kiln shelves here the way I do it is to grind never chip with a
hammer and chisel. I broke a kiln shelve chipping and learned not to do that
again.
I use a big side grinder with a $100 diamond blade for the big stuff and it
really eats glaze and shelve if not carefull.. I use a smaller side grinder
with a concrete blade for small messes and I use a dremel for the fine stuff on
pots..
I always wear eye protection,, I always wear eye protection,,,I always wear
eye protection,,
If im getting to flip my shelves I will were a resperator if im making a lot
of dust
just what I do here

Ed,
For a LOT cheaper, you can buy a rubber disc that chucks into an
electric drill motor. (about $10)
Buy yourself a bunch of those 60 or 80 grit automotive wet and dry
sanding pads for that sized disc (6 inch IIRC) and there you go.
Kiln wash shouldn't be that difficult to remove. Wet the shelf a little
to keep the dust down,
and wear a mask!
Best,
Wayne Seidl

Paul,
I would like that part # if you could dig it out- I just used my angle
grinder and flap disk here at school but would be interested in trying some
of those disks from Enco you mentioned- Thanks

Hi Ed,
If you are only removing kiln wash, a belt sander with a coarse belt will do the trick. Drawback, lots of dust. If you have a psray booth, do it there.
