SO you ever get all nervous about cutting a straight line with a grinder?  Then circles are even more nerve racking.  I decided to make my own backing plate eliminators from the factory ones in an effort to retain the caliper hard line mount.  I laid out my cut, started cutting a radius to eliminate teh unwanted part.  I was so proud of my cut as I was doing it, I just kept cutting...  When I was almost all the way through I realized...  I just made a complete circle and cut off the part I was trying to save! :hammerhead:  This is why I don't work with wood.  Had to weld the damned thing back together, but it turned out in the end.
