@jballz1234567890 I used a bench grinder to take the points off, then I used the wire brush grinder wheel to smooth the edges.

LOL No. This is the first and only cymbal I've owned that cracked. I suspect it was a defect in the casting process when the cymbal was made. First it cracked on one side, then a second crack started 180 degrees on the exact opposite side of the crash. I kept playing it with the cracks as it still sounded decent, but eventually it started breaking off in chunks. I kept one small piece that broke off and made it into a key chain...and even it sounds like a very tiny bell.

how long it lasted to work your crash into that?

A total of about 4 or 5 hours. That includes grinding it down and polishing the edges.
