Got a pack of stripping wheels for the Dremel. Came as a pack of 40 with 10 of each grit. Using the coarsest 120 grit to start. Tested on various fiddly bits that the grinder couldn't reach.
Does an ok job for the price ($13 Amazon) but just doesn't have the power I was hoping for. Going to be tough to get these sections down to clean bare metal without media blasting.
Picked up a new Makita 4-1/2" angle grinder, model #GA4542C. $157 from Home Depot (and got the 2-year protection plan).
Felt familiar in actual use, basically like a gigantic Dremel. A bit heavy, but that may just be me not being used to a big tool like that.
Used a Roloc stripping disc (5 pack for $33) which did the business. Worked well on the flatter sections but will still need something for the fiddly bits.
