I?ve noticed vans and some tool supply outlets only sell 6 inch scotchbright wheels. I have an 8 inch grinder. Do they make 8 inch wheels, or can. 6 inch be safely used on an 8 inch grinder?
Also, I?m just curious, can a belt or disk sander with the right grit do the same job as the scotchbrite wheel?
How did you mount the buffer? I'm trying this setup but the holes don't line up.I like the buffer from Harbor Freight for Scotchbrite wheels - the spindles are longer, and no guards to get in the way. Much easier to to maneuver longer pieces while deburring/shaping. I also used their stand to mount it - again better than bench mounting as stand can be moved into position to maneuver long pieces. I shamelessly stole the idea from Synergy Air when I did their class.

I did put the wheel in my drill press. I love it there. Very accessible. Is the slowest speed ok? The grinder spins much faster... great idea though.
