Thanks for all of the replys. The two yards I go to make you take them off. The stainless steel cutting blade sounds good for the grinder. i'll have to pick one up.



I'm not worried about losing the bit of stainless. Beating with a hammer does not get all the metal off. It leaves the area of the weld and some flange still on. Seems the welds are much tighter on these type than the others that will pop right off with pliers and a bit of twisting.
