Drill bit tool for grinding off an old chain?
Discussion
Can anybody recommend a tool/bit that I can use with my drill that'd be ideal for grinding off an old chain? If so, can you post a link to the site where I can buy this please?
I ordered some replacement chain pin removers for my chain tool from a site called 2wheeljunkie but their ecommerce system is s
t meaning the address didn't go through properly and hence the required tool parts haven't arrived! I'm trying to follow this up with them at the moment but need a back up as I want to get the chain and sprockets replaced this weekend.

Sounds like you're after a little cutting disc that you'd use in a dremel, thing is dremels spin at a hell of a lot more rpms than a hand drill - not sure if it would work.
Yes, a Dremel was what I had in mind but since I don't have one, I thought a special drill bit would be the next best thing.I got my new chain and sprockets finally fitted at the weekend. Here's how it went:
Tried using the remains of my original chain breaker tool to remove at least one of the pins of the chain. Only got them about half way out. I broke the remainder of the thinner pin removal attachments trying to remove the pins.
Decided to get the jigsaw and power lead out only to find that the power socket in the ground floor lobby of our block of flats has been de-activated so had to shelf that idea.
Went for the hacksaw method but the regular hacksaw was too big, tried the junior hacksaw but the blade was blunt.
It started raining so I had to pack up all the tools for the day.
Bought some bolt cutters and cut the chain off the following day, got to the final step of joining the chain with the master link. Pressed the plate on but put it on slightly too much so had to buy a new chain cutting tool to loosen it off slightly. I then found out that the master link was of the hard nosed type for which I didn’t have the appropriate riveting tool.
Bike was off the road for a week while I waited on a Whale impact riveter coming through the post.
One week later, job done! It’s never as easy as you think it will be…
