    Wow, great video showing the repair process and results.

    Got to remember Pipe Sander.

    Seems like one could make one with a angle grinder ...

    I have actually made such a sander for angle grinder a while ago. The speed of an angle grinder is too high so it must be regulated down, as I have done with gears, as you can see in the picture. It works fine so I'll make some safety covers around the gears.

    You can use one of those Router Speed Controllers from Harbor Freight (or elsewhere) to regulate the speed of the angle grinder. Those router controllers will turn single speed universal brush motors into variable speed tools. You can even use one on a shop vacuum to decrease suction.
