Grinding the end coil of a cut of a spring once flattened, for beginners?

[Gwylan]

When I compress a coil, I stand a metal spring guide on a solid surface, like my vice, and slip the hot spring over the guide, and push down. hopefully, the rear coil will be at 90 degrees. If you don't have a bench grinder, finish of by putting some wet and dry on a flat surface, and do it by hand.

Hi,

It's not a bad idea to get a grinder anyway, useful things tohave to hand?
