Steel “crud” removal

hot or cold rolled? hot rolled takes something with a good bite to clean the mill scale. cold rolled cleans up good with the good nylon cup brushes. the HF ones don't last too long but i have one of these on a 7" grinder, and it takes all the crud off

Mill scale, that’s what it’s called. Frankly, I have no idea whether I’m using hot or cold rolled. I usually go to the steel store and raid their scrap department. This store does fabrication so some of 6heir scrap is beautiful stuff but no mention of hot or cold. I’ll be going there, hopefully next week, and I’ll be asking if they can advise me. I’ll be trying that HF nylon cup—when I get balls enough to go into one of their crowded stores. Thanks for the suggestion. I needed that.
