Rob - wow! I didn't even know that there was such a thing as a surface grinder. I'm going to go at the swivel eye today or tomorrow with my brand new angle grinder.

I don't need the eye to be flush, I'm just happy to grind it down so that it will fit. I

think that I will have to approach the eye more or less vertically with the angle grinder though much like your surface grinder is doing rather than what I was trying to do yesterday which was going at it at about 15 degrees from the horizontal..

Now I see why a bench grinder might have been better for this :-)
