The problem with grinders and aluminiun is that the aluminiun usually cloggs up the wheel , a usefull alternative is the disk sander.

You can get them as a stand alone unit or as an attachment to install on grinder.

Ryobi have a nice small stand alone unit which sells for a bit over $100, it works well on balsa wood and foam.
Also I have access to a small machine mill which is great for milling away aluminium and gives a much better finish, happy to help out a club member. Although I guess 'A grinder in the garage is worth 2 mills at someone else's place'.
