The shaft on a bench grinder is threaded to hold a grinding wheel, not

How do most people mount the thinner brush-wheel on the smooth
unthreaded zone of the shaft?

Wire wheels are great. I use mine much more than my grindstone
(mostly to clean up old or rusty tools and other things).

And to toss them at the speed of light into the abyss
