I recently picked up a Makita 4.5 inch angle grinder


I picked up one at an auction a couple weeks ago...and didnt realize
at the time it has a much smaller arbor than normal. Is there an
adapter to run a larger center (standard 5/8") wheel?


Forney sells adapters for them. Be sure to find out what pitch the
grinder spindle is since there's more than one pitch made.

Cool. I now keep the grinder and a Weld-pak 100 in the truck. Once my
customers have found out I can do quickie weld repairs on guarding and
Stuff..Ive gotten enough work to pay for the welder already, as an
adjunct to my normal service work. Next time I pull the welder out,
Ill make enough to buy another HF autodarkening mask.

I bought the Makita at an auction for $10, from a guy who bid on it
and a Milwalkee and got em both for $15..and had no use for either of
them, let alone 2.

Auction fever....lol
