Default Grinder Modification

I had (inadvertently) bought a General 8 ³ 1725 rpm grinder which I now have
found out was built for 3/4 inch wheels. Bought the grinder at a woodturning
show and they sold me 1 inch wheels to go with it. Itıs too late to try send
it back. Has anyone modified such or a similar grinder to handle the thicker
1 inch wheels?

Yup. Fender washers. Thinner. Works great.

For wheels with a reduced recessed centre, try www.busybeetools.com. I
purchased a 1" 120 grit white wheel there that has a 3/4" centre. They
ship anywhere.
