I've got the connections figured on an old 1/8hp, 1,435 rpm tumble
dryer motor, and I can source a suitable grinding wheel from
Axminster. But pls can anyone suggest a source of a suitable spindle
(and a drive belt as well) onto which I can mount the wheel. No
continuous use requirement.

I'd love a truly DIY solution to this instead of having to buy
something - any chance that a bicycle wheel bearing could work??
(Apart from a drill press I have no other bench machinery suitable for
metalwork, so pls no advice that requires any metal turning etc!)


While I applaud (and share) your diy spirit, sometimes cold logic comes
into it. Given that you can buy a 6" 150W twin wheel grinder, complete
with wheels, for £12-£15, is there really any sense in making one?
