Removing acid etch?

[JoHnYKwSt]

I have some acid etch on a blade that I'd like to remove. What are some of the ways this can be done?

Hi John...

Only a couple of ways to remove it...

Polish, Grind or Bead Blast....

That's about it...

I used to have good success with a wire wheel and a motor with a lot of torque so I could bear into it hard. If the surface is flat, a disc grinder would probably work best. Bead blasting and buffing will still tend to leave an impression, depending on how deep the etch is.
