US Military Axe?

[Surpmil]

I'm intrigued but not sure which pad part number you are suggesting. I'd think an angle grinder might have too many R's and heat up the edge a bit too much. Have a link? I've always used files (if needed to cut an edge) and puck stones for a final edge.

I just use the three basic grits: coarse, medium and fine. They are colour-coded. Yes, you do have to watch the heat/colour carefully, especially as you get near the edge and as the edge gets finer. LIght pressure and a manual check with bare hand, or regular dunking in water, or apply a sopping wet rag if it's in a vise and you don't want the hassle of taking it out to dunk in cold water.

I still have one that "jump" into the trunk (boot) of my car when we turned in our M151 Jeeps. It told me that it did not want to be scrapped and to save him. LOL!!!

That seems to happen a lot when I was in during the 70's and 80's. I work for the Miltitay now and its not as prevalent anymore. You can't even librate an old wooden pallet.
