Sez www.jd2.com right on the degree wheel, chazzy.
I've heard a lot of good things about those. Wish I had the spare money to blow on one. I experimented with sand bending, and my conclusion was that I would have to go through about $3K worth of stainless tubing to learn how to do it without destroying whatever I was working on. And I tried with a true rosebud tip and dry sand. I've had good luck polishing up 304 stainless again after welding or heating. You just need to stay after it. Start with a wire wheel and work your way down to as shiney as you want. I built a whole car from 304. Just doing the final assembly now.
