working on R2 Feet for R2-D2, was welded on outside of feet instead of in, so I need to smooth out the weld so it still holds together, but it looks better on the outside

you could heat it up with a acytelne torch and just chisel/knock it off

go to your local welding supply store and ask to purchase flap disks for a 4" grinder or flap wheels for a die grinder. They are abrasives that will leave a very smooth and fine finish. They come in several different grades of cut, like sand paper. I have used them for years on finished metal applications.

Grind the flats with an angle grinder when you get to the inside corners use a pencil grinder with a dome bit

If it was welded right it should hold. The weld is the merging of the two metals not the amount put on.

use a small grinder with a tiger sanding pad but be carefull not to take to much or if welded only on outside it could fall apart if it doesnt have sufficient penetration
