Need a little help with steel targets

[cmshoot]

Need a little help. I’ve got about 24 steel targets that I want to strip down to clean steel. They have years of paint on the front and many have rust on the back.

My angle grinder ain’t got the ass to do it, I need a larger one, like a 9”.

Sandblasting seems like it would do the trick, but that’s not something I have access to.

I don’t want to clean them chemically as I don’t have a good place to do that.

So, I’m either looking to borrow a 9” angle grinder, or find someone that’s willing to clean them all up for me. I’m willing to pay or trade for the loaner, or the labor.

Semper Fi!

Wire wheel?

How big are the biggest targets?

Wire wheel?

Tried that. I’m sure it would work with something like a 9”, 4hp angle grinder. My little 4.5” Makita with a wire wheel is waaaaaaay too slow.

How big are the biggest targets?

Most are around 12”x24” and smaller. 1 is 24”x36”.

Burn the paint off?
