Got new stainless steel faceplates for the meter boxes from KR to install dixmor timers, and of course they don’t fit correctly, need to grind about 1/16” off and maybe round the corners a little to make them fit. Using a 4” Makita grinder.

I need to find a grinding wheel for stainless to use with the Makita on site to make them fit, the one I am using is a saitech .045 from MSCdirect, but that is used to cut vertically through stainless, I need something that can grind the stainless horizontally.

Just use regular metal grinding wheels. You should not use a cutting wheel to grind with the flat surface or it can explode.
